That's what I was trying to avoid :) This brings up the point of  
setting mime types for browsers. I asked a couple of times on the  
list the last month. I confess (miserably) to not having looked at  
doing this in OSX yet - sure the dialogue is somewhere. But what I  
really want is to have Rev do this for me, and a few years back  
someone somewhere posted this on the Metacard list.

Anyone know how to get Rev to set up the mime types so as to automate  
this for the user? Aim is to not just get browser to download file  
and set file type for you, but to allow browser clicked links to open  
a Rev stack. Can someone clarify the issues here for me? Ideally this  
would be cross platform - but OSX is good enough for now?
