I was thinking about making OW a menu-ish type front end for our NeXTs, such
that new users who log in for the first time will auto-launch OW, and then you
could click on various different things and it would launch the
appropriate program. However, I can't seem to do it (lynx has a custom
extention of "lynxexec". I was thinking that it could be done with a mime system.

might I be able to do something like:
application/nextapp app ????????
or have an "exec" function, where it does the equivalent of "open"?
