Hello Peter,<br><br>Your wrapper script has been implemented.<br><br>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.
<br><br>Midi files accessed from my home directory still follow their given file preference and play straight through the chosen GUI.<br><br>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.
<br><br>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.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Andre<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">
