Subject: Configuring external viewer for document types in Dired
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 09:12:16 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c81c3586-a23c-4fdf-8ec2-6663c3055d80@w41g2000yqb.googlegroups.com> (raw)

When I invoke Dired, many files in the list can be read by Emacs.
That's just fine. But occasionally I see a PDF file in Dired. Is there
some possibility to configure an external viewer to launch when I
press Enter on a PDF file in Dired?

My system is Cygwin for Microsoft Windows XP. Emacs is installed from
the Cygwin repository. I use Emacs version 21.2.1.
