Re: [Orgmode] Link Associations in Linux

[David A. Gershman]

I love answering my own questions.  However, my current answer was found
in the form of hacking the org.el file.  Not something I really want to
do.  So...

In the org.el file, I found "org-file-apps-defaults-gnu", made my
adjustments {  ("pdf" . "xpdf %s")  } and away I went!  However, is
there a way I can modify/add to the "org-file-apps-defaults-gnu" via my
.emacs file?

Thanks again.
