Yes. See: http://docs.racket-lang.org/tools/implementing-tools.html You probably want to call it just from the top-level of your unit (not from phase1 or phase2). > Also, a related question: what would you recommend for > adding a certain file type to the DrRacket's file->open > dialog, where currently are "Racket Sources" and "Any"? I think you should call finder:default-filters (using the old value to construct a new value). Robby ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
