	Maybe I should reinstall and *hope*.  I'm running
	linux-mozilla-devel-1.5RC2.  

	In my ~/.mailcap is::

	###application/pdf;/usr/local/bin/acroread %s > /dev/null 2>&1
	application/pdf;/usr/local/bin/acroread %s

	The reasn for the full pathname above is that when I
	first tried to read a .pdf file, the ERROR was that 
	l-m-d couldn't find aacroread.  

	thanks for your help,

	gary
