Ok...I got tired of having to save a PDF to a local file,
then open it with xpdf. Here's what I did, and this should
be applicable to your situation:
I told Netscape to open "portable document files" with the
application "/usr/bin/xpdf %s". I would think that you
would be able to do the same with *.doc and *.wpd files.
