I get the dialog and it asks me to open using another program or cancel
i hit cancel but what happens if you hit use another app. sdoes it list
apps to choose from? Launching Xchat automaticlly isnt a great option
becaseu automating connection to internet other than through
route/modem/ is dangerous so at best bring up dialog stating what app
would you like to launch.
