Acroread comes up as desired in mozilla 1.5b & netscape navigator 4.8 when... - in ~/.mailcap i have... application/pdf; acroread %s - in netscape's Navigator->Application Helpers ... MIMEType: application/pdf Suffiexes: pdf Handled By->Application: acroread %s and, similarly for mozilla (Navigator->Helper Applications). I forgot if i had manually set the above settings or mozilla/netscape just read ~/.mailcap & adjusted themselves. - Parv -- _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
