RegEdit contains the commands that are available to our application when dealing with OLE objects. For instance, let's look at a sample of the registration editor (Under Windows 16-bit):
We can see from the above picture, that SoundRec has a class id. An OLE Object is identified uniquely by its class id which is 128-bit long. You will learn more about class ids in "registering PowerBuilder OLE controls in the registration database" in "Distributing OLE Objects". The SoundRec OLE server (which plays sounds) has two possible actions (called VERBs in Windows): Play and Edit. You will learn about verbs in "OLE Objects" topic.

In this case you can merge the update file for that particular software with the registry by using 'S' option, i.e., REGEDIT -S FileName.
