Oh, God! You definitely want to know more!

Basically, the 3 programs i'm running daily are: FAR, Opera and The Bat!.
I hardly need anything else, be it regedit, control panel or code editor.
FAR offer as much as humanly possible through multiple plugins, and if you'r
daily work is with console and/or code writing, you are unlikely to find
better alternative.

I can see several ways to embed it here, but it'd be better if path
translation could be more smooth. It's not always you're working with so
flexible tools.
