Pham, this is for Netscape 4.05, 4.04 is the same; earlier
versions work a little differently but on the same principle.
Open preferences (Edit menu) and select Applications under
Netscape. You will get a list of file types.
Find the type you're interested in in the list. This may
take some work, but if you scroll through the list,
as you select each type it will tell you what extension(s)
make up that file type.
When you've found the type you want, click edit. In
the dialog box, click "Application" then check the box
labeled "Ask me before opening/downloading files of this type".
This doesn't seem to work for files Netscape knows how to
open internally (eg, txt, html, etc), but it works for
other types. I don't know how the heck you keep netscape
from opening a text file, for instance.
In an earlier version I had a terrible time getting netscape
to download PDF files rather than open them, but that
seems to work ok now.
Good luck,
