[pchelpers] Re: Need help

Morris,
I think if you hold down the shift key and right-click the little square 
icon a box will open that not only asks what program to open the file 
with but also has a box in the lower left corner that you can check so 
it will always open that kind of file with your program of choice.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
