Same as in the Windows environment: "ftype" in connection with "assoc"
(or more convenient with "associate" from the ResourceKit).

You're confusing Windows and Unix semantics. There's never been such a
thing as an association between a file extension and an
application/interpreter in Unix/Cygwin.

You might be looking for a "she bang" which does something similar.
