A few problems I still haven't been able to figure out:

- every time I ask for a page that asks for an "external reader"
  (meaning that it's sending either a JPEG or Postscript file)
  the program jams. How to I configure it to look for the right
  external programs (I know it has something to do with a "MIME type"
  header field but don't know much beyond that. What (and where) are
  these programs?

- Saved files using <Save As> to Postscript files generates files
  that are unprintable. Either they're too large for the paper or
  they just won't print. Is this because the screen display is 75dpi
  and my printer is 300dpi? Or is it something else? The <Save As>
  dialogue box allows for filters but I'm not sure what kind of filters
  should be used.

Thanks for any replies.
