opening a filetype with a turnkey

I have created a turnkey application using Swiftforth. The application will
perform a function on a file of a particular type (not used by any other
function) but it needs to "know" (as in address and count) the file's
name. Of course I can use a dialog box into which the name can be entered,
and that works perfectly.

  But a more elegant way would be to use Windows properties to
"automatically open the filetype" with my turnkey each time. I can even
assign an icon to that filetype so it has a unique appearance.

The question is.. when my turnkey opens the file "automatically" by
clicking on the file itself, where can my turnkey "find" the filename so it
can process it properly?
