Details
There doesn't seem to be any way to specify command line arguments for helper apps.
Netscape used to support %s and %u (filename and url), and allowed arguments for
called apps. Eg:
/usr/frame/bin/fmclient -f %s
Is the command line for calling frame maker to view a document.
Entering "/usr/frame/bin/fmclient -f" doesn't work either (I am guessing the
whole line is exec'ed, hence causing a file not found error).
I think this probably happens on all *nix's.
I have found this on IRIX, using Mozilla 1.0.1.

Also, the helper app's names should have whitespace stripped off each end, as this
causes them to fail also.
