It's a bug in Netscape that causes it not to poperly evaluate the test
condiditon.  I have reported this bug to Netscape, so hopefully it will
be fixed in the next revision.  For some reason they 'tolower' the entire
test line so that variables like "$DISPLAY" become "$display" which makes
it useless.

The best thing to do for now is to copy the ghostview line into the "user"
section and omit the 'test' clause.  Something like:

  # ----- User Section Begins ----- #
  application/postscript; /usr/bin/X11/ghostview %s
  # -----  User Section Ends  ----- #

You should remove this line once Netscape gets fixed, though.
