sorry, I meant to say, I can visit a new .cpp file fine now but
visiting a new file.h I get in the *extview log*

Opening file ~/myPrograms/backtest/man.h with handler: more '%s'
/home/fred/myPrograms/backtest/man.h: No such file or directory

Process extview-process finished

I thought to add a bit extra to what you suggested by doing in my
.emacs the following

(setq extview-application-associations
       (cons '("\\.cpp\\'" . nil) extview-application-associations),
       (cons '("\\.h\\'" . nil) extview-application-associations))

and then restart emacs and trying to visit a new .h file but I still
get the same error i.e, adding the .h line above to my .emacs did
nothing.
