W3Launch

Dear Web4Libbers:

I am trying to use W3Launch to create a front-end menu that will run 
within Netscape 2.0 and am having a problem: I've set everything up per 
Peter Gorman's specs but it will not run.  Within Netscape itself, I've 
created a mime type of application, a sub-type of x-w3l, and have set it 
so that when a .w3l file is encountered W3Launch boots.  Attached below 
are the contents of the other files required.  Could someone please tell 
me what I'm doing wrong?  When I click on the link in my HTML file that 
connects to the .w3l file, all I get are the contents of the .w3l file 
itself, not a bootup of W3Launch.

Confused,
