OK, but that's a TeX solution; I was looking for a TeXworks solution,
on the assumption that TeXworks is already parsing the files to look
for (e.g.,) "! TeX Program = ...".

Excellent suggestion : I had completely overlooked that.
Thank you, William.

Wonderful recommendation : one of the most interesting books I have
encountered for a very long time.
