Actually, this sounds more like a problem with your launch services database. I think some other program conflicts with Skim for declaring the DVI type (because Skim doesn't declare the description "DVI Document"). Perhaps resetting LS will help, type the following in Terminal.app on a single line: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/ Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -all local,user,system Christiaan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
