[lug] Netscape Applications

[Ruskell Todd G]

I've recently been trying to bring my linux netscape environment up to par
with that other OS.  What I'd like to do is get netscape to launch
StarOffice and load a word/excel/etc. file if, for example, a *.doc file
shows up as an e-mail attachment and I click on it.

So, I do an Edit->Preferences, and look at Navigator->Applications.  I
find the MSWord mime type, and edit the entry to launch StarOffice.  This
much works.  Now, when I click on the Word document, StarOffice is
launched, but the file is not opened.  I guess I need to provide an
argument for the filename.  I guess that this might by %f.  So I edit the
command so it looks like this:

soffice %f

The application still doesn't open in StarOffice.  Does anyone know if %f
is the correct argument to send?  If it is, are there any suggestions as
to why the document isn't actually opened?  The command: soffice filename
does work from the command line, and filename is opened in StarOffice.

TIA,

Todd
