Re: Setting AbiWord as default word processor.

Umm, no, thanks .. I'm using Debian Linux. I'll have to keep playing
around with Edit->Preferences->Navigator->Helper Applications
in Mozilla. So far I've tried '/usr/bin/abiword' and
'/usr/bin/AbiSuite-2.2' as in "open it with .." in 'Edit Type'.
Neither works, and I had it previously set to OO which presumably is
still the default.

Can anyone improve on these options ?
