I just wanted to update you on my progress with this problem.  I still can't get my script to work, but I believe I know the cause of the problem.  As you can see below I've included an email you sent related to setting up python file association.  

BTW, I did file an osgeo4w ticket:  http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/95

After looking at the ftype help, it looks like I should have issued the command: 
   ftype python.file="C:\Program Files\Python25\python.exe" "%1" %*


I've done that, but I still have the same problem.  I created a simple test program that just prints out the scripts arguments:

	# printargs.py ############
	import sys

	for arg in sys.argv:
	   print arg
	###########################

And here is grass session that illustration the problem:

GRASS 6.4.0svn (Morgan_Hill)> assoc .py
.py=py_auto_file

GRASS 6.4.0svn (Morgan_Hill)> ftype py_auto_file
py_auto_file="C:\OSGeo4W\bin\python.exe" "%1" %*

GRASS 6.4.0svn (Morgan_Hill)> C:\Temp\printargs.py this is a test
C:\Temp\printargs.py

GRASS 6.4.0svn (Morgan_Hill)> python C:\Temp\printargs.py this is a test
C:\Temp\printargs.py
this
is
a
test
