Try windows help -->assoc or windows help -->ftype. You can specify a
file association for the .rnt extention with "assoc" and "ftype"
commands.  Altenatively Explore->View->Options->File Types->New Type
(NT).

Then specify your python program in the command string. The clicked
.rnt file will be passed in the %1 parameter, which you can access
with sys.argv[1].

Posting via Google Groups...so maybe tomorrow...
