Which editor?

You've got to talk with Kerry (author of TextReader) about enabling the
text reader to accept the filename. In the GEOS.INI filenameTokens is the
place to associate the extension with the application. (I once had
doubletapping a *.TXT file launch the TextReader, but the reader would
open without the document loaded.)
