Re: Attention XEmacs users

Maybe you are not trying to open the file in emacs?
Following a link picks an application to open the file, depending on 
the extension.  Under windows, the default is to use "open" for files, 
which is just like double-clicking them.  However, "open" may choke on 
an efs path.

You can force the link to open inside emacs with C-u C-c C-o.  Have you 
tried this?
