RE: iSeries Navigator double click to open IFS files

["Jim Oberholtzer" <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Evan, 

Almost!  Unfortunately, it opens in it's own editor, not the application
that is mapped to the extension.

I built a workaround by creating a share to the specific directory and then
mapping a network drive to it.  For the limited number of users needing it,
that has solved the immediate problem.  

Thanks.

Hi Jim

I remember you could set up any file to be editied. The procedure to do this
was:
- Open Ops Navigator
- Navigate to System and click the + sign
- Click on the "File Systems" + sign
- Right-click on Integrated File Systems & select "Properties"
- Change the Enable Edit menu option radio button to "All files"

Hope this is what you were after.
