[NTLUG:Discuss] Looking for opinions...

[Fred James]

I just got RealPlayer8 installed on my Dell Latitude C800, and their 
installation "demo" worked fine, now I am trying to make it work in my 
Netscape 6.1 (associate the helper - is that what it is called?), but I 
guess I am lost again, and probably will be with the other 2 as well.

What application file(s) am I looking for and what types will I be 
associating them with?  The dialog box is looking for:
 > Description of type
 > File extensions
 > MIME type
 > Application to use

Any help you could offer would be appreciated, on any or all of these 
three applications.  Or is there a Howto I should be looking at?
Thanks
