Well, I always thought (though I haven't tried it) that you *could*
associate to COM files.  However, I know for a fact that you can
associate to PIF files, so try this: just use the PIF editor to make
a PIF which runs PAGE.COM.  The from the File Manager associate .TXT
to that PIF.  Should work fine...
