GUI wrapper for timidity -ig with Firefox

[Andre Mangan]

Hello Peter,

Your wrapper script has been implemented.

Now, when I access a midi file via Firefox the download-manager is displayed
(as before) and when I click on 'open', the chosen timidity GUI appears and
the music plays and can be turned off.  I have also included the amendment
you proposed re the time delay as that may be very useful when accessing
long midi sequences.

Midi files accessed from my home directory still follow their given file
preference and play straight through the chosen GUI.

You may have wondered why it took me so long to put your script into effect
- apart from other chores, I had a rather steep learning curve to follow to
understand why and how this script works.  At least, I now know what a
'shebang' does.

Thank you, Peter, for taking the time to work out a more elegant solution
than the one I had proposed and your patience in steering me through the
puzzle.

Cheers,
Andre
