[X Newbies] how do i change default applications?

[Diego Terneus]

Bruce,
There are two ways of selecting the browser:
1) in System Preferences, open the Internet settings, click on the last tab
on the window (Web), select default web browser.
2) [and also for your simpletext files] Do a get info (command i) on one of
the files and pull down the Open with: section, click on the application
pull-down tab and select the application you want to use finish by clicking
on the Change All.. button.
