In gnome, I can click on a file and the correct application to open it will be started. In Windows, I can get the same functionality from the command line by typing "start (somefilename)" I can't seen to find an equivalent feature in Linux, so am beginning to suspect that it is gnome matching up the file with its application. If I were to start writing such a utility, where would I find sample code how the GUI does it? Or is there already a POSIX command and I've never run across it? (What I'm actually trying to do is implement Python "os.startfile" on Linux.) -- Vernon Cole (sent from my 'droid phone)
