[lug] Netscape plug-in/hlepers

[Ruskell Todd G]

I asked a related question last week.  For a helper application, you also
need to pass the filename parameter to the program.  So, your application
command should look like this:  gv %s
The %s passes the source name to ghostview so the file is actually
displayed.
