 Using a .tcl extension as an example..

 package require registry
 set foo [registry get HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\.tcl {}]
 set editCmd [registry get HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\$foo\\shell\\edit\\command {}]
 set openCmd [registry get HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\$foo\\shell\\open\\command {}]

 Seems to work fine.. there may be a situation that requires more, but
 since this is all spur of the moment anyway..

 Hope that helps..
