Tom,

The easiest way to get FS EXEC to open files with their associated
application is to buy a third party flash utility that adds the capability
to the projector afterwards. I've used FlashJester's Jugglor/JTools to open
pdfs and it worked great (www.flashjester.com). Of course, it's windows
only.

There are other ways no doubt but it seemed to me to be the fastest and
easiest.

Jordan
