Hi Ben,

Thank you so much for this! I just have one question, please see below.

I downloaded and installed "More Internet" but I'm not sure what you  
mean here. Do you mean I can use "More Internet" to register the  
handler app on *my* system instead of changing the PList file? If so,  
then this won't work on the user's machine since they won't know to  
register it. So, for the real application on a user's machine, I have  
to change the PList file. Is this correct or have I got it totally  
wrong!

Thanks again
All the Best
Dave
