I agree that this helps with regard to the direct clicking. Now if I click on 
a link that is a pdf, i can set the setting to open up acroread or xpdf 
permanently.

However, I am interested in the setting that I described above. 

When I google something and 
when i am about to select  a  hyperlink on a google page, I have the option of 
"right clicking" instead of clicking.

If I left click,  now get my permanent file association described above via 
the setting/konqueror/file association choice for pdf.
 
However, when I right click on a url while browsing a web page, konqueror does 
not seem to  "know" the file type - or even that it is a file type. Instead 
it gives me choices of  (i guess) browsers - ie 
epipany
mozilla
lynx
galeon
e links
plus a generic - 
"other" which gives me a entry dialog with browsing for application ability.

my question : how do I  register something like xpdf and acroread with that 
list of browsers so i can chose on the fly.... where is that setting kept?

Ah I see  now

Settings/konqueror/file association/txt/ html
there it is!! 
great it works!

thank you!

thanks,
mitchell
