For instance, I always found it annoying that Acrobat Exchange opened up by default on all of my PDF docs, because it takes a lot longer to open than Reader. Reinstalling Reader fixed this, but then I got annoyed because I had to launch Exchange and do a File...Open to edit PDF docs. So, I added a new action named something like "Open (Exchange)" and set it up to launch Exchange. This appears under the right mouse button menu for the PDF file. You ought to be able to do something similar for your .ps files, I think. -Christopher
