Here's the problem:  
When I double click on a .Pas file. a new Delphi XE IDE opens up.  
Is there a way to open up the file inside of the Delphi XE IDE that is currently open?

Drag  and drop the file onto the IDE?

BTW: I have my .PAS files set to open in a text editor - Notepad.  It's 
much more often that I want to view a source file rather than open it in 
the IDE.

Cheers,

It actually should do that by default. If you examine the file
association for .PAS in regedit
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\BDS.PasFile\Shell\Open\Command

it should contain a default value like

"C:\Programme\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\8.0\Bin\bdsLauncher.exe"
"C:\Programme\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\8.0\Bin\bds.exe" /np

The file type should be linked to the bdsLauncher application, not to
bds.exe itself.
