No, but ... -and maybe I just didn't know this about v 6.x- but now you can
do a simple RMB (right-mouse-button click) to begin the actual SETINIT job
(used to me a Start/Programs/SAS shortcut *or* a command line commad).

As such, perhaps they had to change it so as so get a unique file type
extension that would allow this new RMB feature to be assigned in the
registry? (i.e., you don't want it to be that way for all .SAS files b/c
most of them to be "run" not "installed")

Out
