I don't hink you can set it up this way. It needs to be a supporting
application, like the section in versions 1.22 and earlier. They seem to
have left that out of v. 2.0b1!! You can still add something like
Telnet=C:\NET\EWAN\EWAN.EXE in the [Viewers] section of netscape.ini by
hand. I only figured this out because mine launched ewan appropriately, so I
went looking for how it knew what to launch. I have been telling new version
of netscape to not overwrite the .ini file upon installation.
