I have designed macro with file name as text parameter.
   #macro MyMacro(FileName) /* work with stuff */ #end
and than I call
   MyMacro("stuff.txt")
and it works fine
than I want put full path to file
   MyMacro("c:\test\stuff.txt")
and it works fine, too
but when I right clock and chose from context menu : Open "c:\test\stuff.txt"
than there is message in status bar at bottom of the window : could not locate
file
I'm talking about official POV-Ray 3.1g.watcom.win32 under NT4 Serv
I can work with this but I just want notice bug and/or something like limitation

I don't think \t means what you think it means.

thanks Ron but currently it was my mistake in example
I agree that \t has meaning but in my real example was :
parse_model("c:\spline\spline.txt",yes)
and there is nothing in documentation:Text formating about \s
and as I said this syntax works fine as script and returns proper result but it
returns wrong string for interface,
I tried parse_model("c:\\spline\\spline.txt",yes) to check \\ and it still works
as script but I can't open file with context menu

Must be a NTFS thing.
Check around at: http://www.winmain.com/
There's a user forum for CodeMax.
Anyone know if the new version can be plugged into POV-Ray?

I think you have to tell it which program to open the file with.

The fact that is works fine is nice, but you are using an _unsupported
feature_ here.  If you read the documentation you will find that only
those directories which are specified as include directories will be
searched, and you specify the whole path.

Of course, because there is no such include path that combined with your
part of the path will result in a valid path.

well, have you checked this ?
I added +Lc:\ to the settings and changed calling to
parse_model("spline\spline.txt",yes)
and it still is parsed ok but still not work as context menu Open
"spline\spline.txt"
