RE: Netscape helper apps HELP

 Why does the RedHat RealPlayer 5.0 not function as a plugin in Netscape?

Currently, the RedHat RealPlayer 5.0 as a plugin does not work in the 
Netscape browser.

There are two problems that prevent the RedHat Player from 
functioning as a plugin in the Netscape browser. First, the RedHat Player
5.0 
installation does not contain any of the plugin files. Second, the 
Player is compiled with the latest version of glibc for RedHat 5.0, 
while Navigator is compiled with other glibc libraries. However, the 
RedHat RealPlayer is fully functional as a standalone Player. 
 
There is a workaround which allows the Player Plugin to function, 
though it has not been extensively tested. The work around for this is 
to also install the Linux RealPlayer. The Linux RealPlayer 
installation contains the plugin files and compatible libraries for
non-glibc 
applications. Until Netscape releases a stable glibc compatible 
browser, this is the only work around. Please note: RedHat 5.1 does contain 
the non-glibc compatibility, but the plugin still requires the class 
files from the Linux Player.

I have installed RealPlayer 5.0 and Acrobat Reader 
but I cannot get Netscape to automatically use them.
I have edited the preferences and it even launches
RealPlayer but it doesn't hand off the file to be
processed.  What's the syntax for the variable?
I have tried "$1" and "%h" so far with no luck.
