..

And now I have. It was all in working out exactly how to edit the Associations and Extensions entries, then choosing the best DOS utilities to do the job.

I have got Links28 to display single images (display), and also to play audio .ogg files (mplayer). It should now be a snap to get Links28 to become an all-singing all-dancing text browser. :)

These lines in links.cfg are working:

association "AUDIO" "audio/mp3,audio/ogg,ogg,OGG,application/ogg" "mplay.bat %" 55 10
association "DISPLAY" "image/gif,image/jpeg,gif,jpg" "display.bat %" 55 10
