Re: FTYPE doesn't work as per docs



That is not the way I read the "/?" help.
Don't use the "=" sign with nothing following.
e.g.
FTYPE piffile

The cmd prompt command FTYPE doesn't work as per the "/?" help
documentation. It says that if you type the command with an associated
file type, it will delete the open command string for that file type.
But it doesn't work. For example, if I enter:

C:\>FTYPE FileType=

Where FileType equals any associated file type, it returns:

File type 'FileType' not found or no open command associated with it.
