Thanks James, unfortunately the method that you demonstrate there doesn't
work with my configuration. Nothing happens when I try that method with
Firefox, and when I try it with Internet Explorer then IE asks me if I want
to open the file. Maybe that functionality is specific to Chrome? It would
be great to extend it to other browsers.

must leave untainted for those who come after us,The fertile earth, in
which truth may grow in bright places, tended by many hands,And the broad
fall of sunshine, warming our first steps toward knowing how much we do not
know.*
