Re: Overriding pdfview

Hi Hans,

I meant a OS system variable. But that actually does not matter.
The default action would be changed to not call a browser!

I agree that nobody should be forced to use autopdf.
Yet, as I understand the discussion there seems to be a need 
to add some generality to the method. 

Possibly, a cleaner way to resolve this discussion is to define calls for
user as in user defined. In other words, in addition to -autopdf there will be 
a parameter -autocalls which is a list of commands for the calls opencalls, closecalls,
allcalls.

No for more need for anyone to really change a file it would be in their call to context.

regards
	Keith.
