Dumb question from an untutored smalltime dabbler:
If I put a local pathname into an obeyfile and then doubleclick it:
- a Jpeg gets launched if that's what the pathname was, but
- a PDF produces an error ("Cannot open <PDFtext$dir>.stdout for I/O
redirection")
If I prefix "filer_run" before the pathname in my obeyfile,
doubleclick works in both cases.
Why is this? What is the principle involved?
What filetypes other than Jpeg and PDF fall into these two categories?
(I'm trying to establish a routine for when I save an attachment out
of email to disc, where I would put just an obeyfile where the
attachment was.)
