I realized when I read my reply that I really did nothing to clear up
any confusion.  Allow me to provide an example.

Let's say I have c:\bin\remote.py, and client.py in the current
directory.  WIthout the file associations for .py and .pyw, I can say:
    python client.py
    pythonw client.py
If I set up file associations for .py and .py, then I can also say:
    client.py
    .\client.py
Further, as long as "c:\bin" is in the path, I can also say:
    remote.py

When I add .PY and .PYW to PATHEXT, that also lets me say:
    client
    remote

without the extension.  That's the sole purpose for PATHEXT.
