Re: [emacs-wiki-discuss] Linking To files

[Paul D. Kraus]

This works well now is there a way to force it to open certain kinds of 
files in emacs instead of launching them? For instance when i link to a 
Perl script (some file.pl) when i tab to it and hit enter it launches 
the program in a command window rather then opening it for editing.

Not trying to be nick picky but just trying to tailor this so that it 
fits my needs.

You guys do excellent work!
