In TW5, you can create an explicit external link using: [ext[text to show|URL or relative path/file]] (i.e., similar to a regular TW link, but with "ext" added in between the first two brackets) However, the *handling* for specific application file types is determined by the browser configuration. If the browser has an association between the file type and the application, then clicking the external link will launch the application. If there is no file type association, most browsers just invoke their 'download and save' dialog. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman ELS Design Studios TiddlyTools - "Small Tools for Big Ideas!"
