Sounds like a job for your friendly, neighborhood file manager. Or as someone else pointed out, you could generate this menu from a script and the script could assign a program to the files. As an interesting sidebar comment, a file manager which allowed you to define triggers would be very interesting. Copy a .mpg file to ~/movies and the fm runs your gen_menu_from_mimes script on ~/movies. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
