You can include
as many placeholders as required by the application. The action can also include any command line
switches that the application requires to handle the file type. This command uses the following
syntax:
FTYPE [fileType[=[openCommandString]]]
The following list describes each of the command line arguments.
fileType Specifies the name of the file type to display or change. Many common file types use
the file extension followed by the word file as a name. For example, Windows normally associates
a file with a .TXT extension with the txtfile file type.
openCommandString Defines the action to take when a user double-clicks a file or otherwise
requests that Windows open it. The action must include the application location and application
name (including file extension). You may optionally include command line arguments, placeholders,
and other application input as needed.

for Windows systems.
