Try a simpler one first with only one part... I believe that when you
install LDLite it will automatically make the association for you if you
use netscape. if not, when netscape prompts you what to do with the

ask you what program... browse to where you have ldlite installed.
This is all explained much better in the ldlite helps.
If you're using something else I dunno.
