| Howdy all.
|

| 
| I can get Applix started when I click on a MS-Word doc by adding
| "applix -wp" in Netscape's Edit->Preferences->Navigator->Applications
| window, but the Applix window is always empty.
| 
| I've tried appending "%h" and "%p" to the command [based on other entries
| that are already there...] but always an empty Words document!
| 
| What's the needed command to make this work?

Try %s.

applix -wp %s

I would guess that %h is host and %p is port so 'telnet %h %p' makes
sense.
