Very handy if you have a lot of files in your project or actually want to operate on that file. @Issam: “$PATH($PROJECT)” would get you to the directory, but “/select, $edname” actually selects the current file in that directory.

E&xplore would be better. Nice tip though. By the way, what's your recommended source for explorer.exe command line parameters. I remember looking for info on that quite a while ago and drawing a blank.
