Re: Netscape helper application configuration

Try staroffice with the %f (I think this passes the filename, but I might be 
way off
in left field.  Try also %s or %u)  Also check out mswordview, this is what it's
designed for.

 I'm trying to figure out how to get Netscape to open up an application to

 So, I'm thinking that I need to somehow provide the name of the file as a
 parameter to StarOffice when it is executed. This does in fact work if I
 execute StarOffice from the shell. Other than the obvious don't read any
 Word documents, because the authors must be lower forms of life, , does
 anyone have a clue as to how I can proceed with this?

 Thanks...
