Setting Applications to Launch for Specific File Extensions

[Dale Brisinda]

I saw this posting on the net (comp.sys.next.software) and I was wondering if  
the solution provided gives the expected results, and if this can be extended to  
other applications with specific file extensions?

If you open up the OmniWeb.app wrapper, you'll find a file called  

content.list, which starts,
application/oda			oda
application/pdf			pdf
application/postscript		ps
application/rtf			rtf
application/x-dvi		dvi
application/x-eprint		tex
application/x-eprint-tar	tar
application/x-rtf		rtf
application/x-tar		tar
application/x-tex    		tex
application/x-texinfo		texinfo
 ...
looks like .mime.types to me!
Try adding:
application/mathematica		ma

I don't know if OmniWeb is completely driven by the contents of this file.
