It can be done via configuration.  I'm not sure if its the MIME typing or
the file extention, probably either.  I tried a few days ago getting a text
document, giving it an extention 'erl' and used resedit to change it's type
to text/erl and then configured Netscape to launch the ERL software.  It
worked quite nicely.
