[texworks] message from TeXworks user(MiKTeX)

[Paul A Norman]

To clarify:  the script as I recall it, opens the current directory in
which the .tex and .pdf are 'living', in a file manager, in Windows
that would normally be Windows Explorer, which makes it very easy to
locate the produced .pdf.

Which is what marksaul at earthlink.net - sort of started out needing to
know about in the original message.
