I have a Windows text editor program (KEDIT) that I prefer over any of 
my Mac programs.  So it's installed on Windows 7 under VMWare Fusion.

When I right-click on a file in Finder, I am given the choice to "Open 
with…".  But my Windows editor doesn't show up there.

How can I get the editor into that list?

Don't know if you can do this with Fusion, but that's a feature of 
Parallels Desktop.  When you build a Winodws VM, you can create links to 
Winodws apps that can be associated with a file type through the 
Finder's "Open with" feature.  I don't know if Fusion has this.

In settings under "Applications" -> "Default Applications"

- check the box "Open your Mac files..."
- then configure it
