Did that.

Apparently works great (except for some strange GUI behavior in that
dialogue, but that is a completely different, minor issue). For some
reason, seems Komodo does not allow itself to be configured from
Windows file types to open text files, but that is not necessary or
even desirable here. I will just have it open the last files being
worked on. Apparently the editor behaves the same way as it did for
Python files. Thanks.
