Hi Jacque,
How do you define "set up properly"? I'd say, if double-clicking a
file opens it in the right application, file associations are set up
properly. If I double-click a PDF in Windows, Acrobat Reader opens it,
which seems to indicate that file associations are set up propert, but
if I use launch document, the file is not opened.
Best regards,
Mark Schonewille

instead of the Windows one, though I tried a number of things. But
it does seem to indicate that the appropriate call is being made to
the OS.
There is a report in bugzilla that "launch document" doesn't always
work for everyone, and it turns out that if you don't have file
associations set up properly it will fail. All that "launch
document" does is sent a shell command to the OS. I suspect that
"launch URL" does the same thing. If that's true, then checking file
associations might be the answer.
