I saw somebody at work type the following commandline in Windows:
start notepad blah.c
He said "It's the easiest way to bring up a random file in Notepad."
Well, of course Wine should be able to do that, I realized
when I woke up this morning, and I vowed to make it happen
before I went to work today. So here's a quickie implementation
of the start command. Seems to work... comments welcome.
