AKAICT, it is going not where I tell it for the file extension, but
*first* to the system registry where it gets lost.

PDF was not assigned, so I assigned it.  It does not go where I tell it 
- it gives me a Win3.1 error.  The settings are:

Description:
PDF

MIME Type:
application/pdf

File Extension:
pdf  

Program to Execute:
j:\acrobat3\reados2\acroread.exe

Arguments:
%s

Working Directory:
j:\acrobat3\reados2

Program Type:
OS/2 PM

Please tell me what is wrong about this.
