Answer for Windows:

The best way to handle this is from within Beonex/Mozilla:
 Edit  -> PREFERENCES  -> (Category) Advanced  -> System.

On the System-Preferences page,
under "Windows should use Beonex to handle these PROTOCOLS",
you should check  -http:  -https:  and  -chrome:
I would also recommend checking the other protocols (-ftp: and -gopher)

Also i recommend that
under "Windows should use Beonex to open these FILE TYPES",
you should check  -HTML,  -XML,  -XHTML  and  -XUL
(but probably not the other file types if you want another viewer for
images).

Futhermore, put a check for
"Alert me if other programs change these settings".

Onderwerp: default browser


I've just started using Beonex and have a problem with it as my default
browser.  When I'm in Eudora and click on a link, I get a window that asks
for the program that "is needed for opening files of type 'URL HyperText
Transfer Protocol' ".  I try going to the path for Beonex but I don't know
the program name, and it doesn't allow me to select it.  But when I click on
"Cancel", Beonex starts anyway.  Except when I clicked on a "Download ...",
it did nothing.  I've tried Preferences in Beonex, but it doesn't provide
for making Beonex the default browser.  Any suggestions?

thanks, Jim Berk
