Actually, come to think of it, there is a way to make it happen with a double-click. Down near the bottom of startup.dm, there're a bunch of "AddAutoCmd" entries. If you can look at the first few bytes of the files with a hex dump, you can give the autocommand a mask and the command string and it'll happen with a double click. For example: AddAutoCmd GIF8?a, Extern Graphics:VT/VT %s What this does is to tell DM to use VT to display any GIF87a or GIF89a file (the first 6 bytes of a GIF file match one of those two strings – the "?" in the mask represents a wildcard). Sorry I didn't think of this before, but you know how it is … 8^) Harry
