Set browser "helper" app

[Thomas McGrath III]

Devin,
I don't know how but downloading is automatic html.

I am sure what you want to know is how to set a downloaded 
stack/standalone to launch? I tried to search the Rev list but found 
too many non related things. Probably better to search the Web instead.

If I find any thing I will send it to you.
