Keywords: message Message-ID: <11730@cit-vax.Caltech.Edu> Date: 27 Aug 89 23:42:50 GMT Sender: news@cit-vax.Caltech.Edu Distribution: comp Organization: California Institute of Technology Lines: 10 I understand that when you open a non-executable file in Workspace Manager, it will send an appOpenFile:type: message to the process that can open that file if the program is already running or it will start up that program and send the message to it. Can someone tell me how can I do that from my program? For example send that message to Preview if I want to preview a Postscript file. Thanks. ============================================================== bchen@wega.caltech.edu or bchen@ccoroada.caltech.edu
