Subject: Re: Having trouble with instructions in The Pragmatic Programmers Learn to Program

right click and choose "edit with" to edit the file. it might say "open with" (been a while since i used windows).

the reason double-clicking doesnt work is windows is trying to run the program (not edit it). hope that helps.

Sent from my finger. Forgve typoos
