[vox-tech] nubie help please - realplayer8

[Dave Margolis]

Dick,

If you click on a link for a filetype that Mozilla doesn't recognize, 
you are generally asked to 'Save it to disk' or 'Open it with'.  If you 
choose to open it, you can just click the 'Choose' button and browse to 
your realplayer.  My realplayer is /usr/local/bin/realplay, but yours 
may be somewhere else.  Running 'which realplay' or perhaps 'locate 
real' will tell you where yours is if you don't know.  The next time you 
go to open a real audio file, Mozilla should remember your choice.  In 
the case that Mozilla remembers incorrectly or remembers a bad choice 
(this has happened to me a couple of times), you can edit this file 
opening behavior by going to 'Edit/Preferences' from the menu bar, and 
selecting 'Helper Applications' underneath the 'Navigator' tree on the left.

Everything I just said is true on Mozilla 1.6, but should be mostly 
accurate for any 1.x Mozilla.
