It seems I don't have that luxury under Linux a the moment. I have a feeling there is a way to do it. Ideas? i.e. I would like a link: [[file:info.pdf][Information]] Under Windows, info.pdf is associated with an app. Under linux, I get nothing. (Note: Using XFCE4 as my WM and Zenwalk as the distro) (or is this a non-orgmode question?) Thanks. --------------- David A.
