custom protocols ( Re: How Else to Interact with Browser)

Andre,

Thank you for the offer, but I do know how to set that type of action 
up.  It's just that, when I installed Revolution, that type of 
interaction was never setup.  When I click a link to a Revolution stack 
in my browser, IE asks where I want to download the "unknown" file.

Now one could quickly say that my associations are setup, and until I 
actually was able to upgrade to 2.7.4 and Revolution let me know that it 
wasn't setup properly, but that should have been something ready to go 
already.
