i dont know how you could make it automatically associate the file in windows, but after it's associated, you could put:

gametoload$ = CL$()

to make it automatically associate, i think you'd have to edit the registry. or the first time you try to open a .sav file or whatever, you could opt to open it in your game, but that isnt really suitable for distribution
good luck

You need to set up a filetype (and the appropriate parameters), which would then be passed to your program, from where you load the data.

In windows explorer go to tools -> folder options (in xp and 98 / me I think). Click on file types. Click the new button and create your file type, and associate it with your application file (by selecting your type and clicking "advanced" - use windows help to guide you).

When a user double clicks a saved game, windows open your program with the command line parameter of the game location. The get he game to load, use the code as seen above:

gametoload$ = CL$()
