DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #50 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Want to specify EDIT
when using konquer in file-browser mode (nosnig around my home
directory, for example) if i run across a *.tar.gz for example
and if i make the mistake of double-clicking on it (thinking
that if less can read it, everything ought to be able to)

t's overwritten by another instance, such as a command
prompt as mentioned below)...
