First of all you need to get a handle on NeXTstep. Here is a good intro: http://web.archive.org/web/20061020203358/http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/ > Looks like Preview.app is broken.

You well need to have an appwrapper for the app and have it installed. Once you have done that you will see the app in the "Tools Inspector" of the file. You can set a default app in that inspector. > I clicked on a .py file and saw no way to associate it with TextView, > or anything else. The gvim appwrapper that I send you have py as a filetype.

In Window Maker I prefer Window Maker's dock. Charles P.S.: I will send you a tarball of some X apps that I personally use to get you started. -- linux: because a PC is a terrible thing to waste ([email protected] put this on Tshirts in '93)
