Has anyone found a better way of specifying helpers for netscape
(4.7/linux) than using a general "xpdf /tmp/*.pdf".  The netscape help
is very (un)helpful on the subject.  The default seems to be download it
to the temp directory and then spawn the application for the user to
select the file.   I added the *.pdf which works but depends on there
being not too many pdf's in /tmp.  Surely there's a parameter to pass
the downloaded file or filename directly to the helper?

Also, now exams are upon me, I am going to upgrade to mandrake,
previously some have mentioned an online store selling cheap/up to date
copies of this distribution in aus - can someone point me in the right
direction.  Also is mandrake Red Hat or someone else who has based it on
Red Hat (whats the history?)
