I am assumong that it not behaves as Firefox does. You can edit
existing entries, but you cannot add them. Rather, the first time an
unknown file type is encountered, you make a selection which is added
to the list.
Do I understand that you have tried to edit an existing entry, but
the setting doesn't stick? If so, try setting the file type in
question to always ask, then navigate to such a file type and set it
that way.

To all who posted a reply to my query:
Please read again my original post, quoted above.
Example: When I click on a link to a .pdf file, SM knows it is a .pdf
file and calls Adobe Reader to read the file. I want SM to recognize
a .tef file and call tabledit to read the file. Where is the setting
to do this? It is not in edit/preferences/helper applications as I
have the .tef files identified there as: application/tef and file type
details as: open these files with tabledit.exe
This is as clear as I can describe the problem. All suggestions welcome.
Walter.
Excuse me for jumping in in the middle of this but wouldn't this be an
"Open With" setting in Windows to control what app to open it with and
that SeaMonkey would pick up the queuing from there as to what to open
it with or what options to give you?
