However, check Edit -> Preferences -> Downloads -> File Types and there should be a listing for "RAM" files. Double click on that line and it should indicate the settings for files with (RAM, RM) extensions. You can then indicate what application to use (ie. Default, Open in this Application, Save to Disk). For the Application options, realplay should be /usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay. If this line is not present, then go to a site that has RM streaming media (ie. http://service.real.com/realplayer/test/). Click on one of the RP10 streams. Firefox should prompt you with similar options as above and then you can specify the application. HTH, Marc Schwartz
