In gnome, I can click on a file and the correct application to open it will be started.
  In Windows, I can get the same functionality from the command line by typing "start (somefilename)"
  I can't seen to find an equivalent feature in Linux, so am beginning to suspect that it is gnome matching up the file with its application.
  If I were to start writing such a utility, where would I find sample code how the GUI does it? Or is there already a POSIX command and I've never run across it?
