Tim, there were a few things in your email which I previously 
overlooked, sorry.

Does anyone know what the systematics on this are?  Which Emacs 
versions use which nomenclature?

I don't think this is needed.  For one, you can set up org-file-app for 
specific files to use Emacs.  But more importantly, if you use mouse-3 
to follow a file link, or equivalently if you follow the link with a 
prefix argument like `C-u C-c C-o' or `C-u RET' (the latter if you have 
turned on org-return-follows-link) then the file will always be opened 
in Emacs.

Maybe I need to make org-file-apps to accept regular expressions, not 
just extensions for identifying file types....

In what situation?  When following a file link?

Thanks
