Thank you very much for your suggestion. I got RealPlayer7 Beta for Linux and installed it. The installation process even told me that RealPlayer had been installed as a plug-in... but... > As for getting it to work as a plug in, I'm not sure what the difference > is between using it as a plug in and simply setting Netscape to use > RealPlayer as the default application for opening files with a particular > suffix, in this case ra, rm, and ram.

I don`t know the difference, either, but when clicking on some links, Netscape complains that the plug-in has not been installed, and it opens a page to make the download.
