alice-teacher opening a2w-Re: s Digest, Vol 38, Issue 13

When trying to run a file for which there is no set association for that extension, often (at least on a PC) you will get a dialog box that will say that windows cannot open this file, but you have an option to associate it with a program on the computer. Browse until you find the icon representing Alice and set it to "always use this program to open this type of file"
that way when you click on an a2w file, it will find the program to use.
