IDE platform:/DATA/MAPS/SEAFLEET/CARRIER.IDE
IDE platform:/DATA/MAPS/SEAFLEET/BATTLESHIP.IDE
IDE platform:/DATA/MAPS/SEAFLEET/DALLAS.IDE
IDE platform:/DATA/MAPS/SEAFLEET/EBOAT.IDE
IDE platform:/DATA/MAPS/SEAFLEET/EPOLA.IDE
IDE platform:/DATA/MAPS/SEAFLEET/SHIPWAR.IDE
IDE platform:/DATA/MAPS/SEAFLEET/SBERRY.IDE
IDE platform:/DATA/MAPS/SEAFLEET/REDOU.IDE
IDE platform:/DATA/MAPS/SEAFLEET/BIBER.IDE
IDE platform:/DATA/MAPS/SEAFLEET/BSHIP.IDE

IPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/SEAFLEET/CARRIER.IPL
IPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/SEAFLEET/BATTLESHIP.IPL
IPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/SEAFLEET/DALLAS.IPL
IPL platform:/DATA/MAPS/SEAFLEET/EBOAT.IPL

right click and select open with and select notepad from the program list. In notepad you add the lines under # map files (I'm not sure if it has to go under that but that's what I did).
