How to Configure Helper Applications for Macintosh
On the Edit menu, choose Preferences. Under Receiving Files, click File Helpers. To specify which program to start when you open a new type of file, click Add.
Type a description, extension, and MIME type. Specify whether the file type uses Binary Data or Plain Text. If you want Macintosh files to be served on non-Macintosh platforms, select the Macintosh File check box. If you want the file helper used for downloaded files, select the Use for Incoming check box. If you want the file helper used for outgoing files, select the Use for Outgoing check box
On the Handling menu choose one of the following options:
| View With Browser | Opens the file in the browser window if the file type is supported by the browser. |
| View With Application | Opens the file using the specified external application. When you quit the application, the downloaded file is deleted. |
| View With Plug-in | Uses a specified plug-in to view the file. To locate the plug-in on your system, click Browse. |
| Post-Process With Application | Handles the file later with a specified application. For example, you can download a .sit file, but later use Stuffit to decompress the file. |
