[rhn-users] Adding a File Type

[Philippe B. Laval]

I run RedHat Enterprise Linux Version 3 with Gnome.  I recently installed a
program (Maple).  The install did not register the new file type used by
this program, so I am trying to add a file type manually.  I followed the
instruction given under Help.  Under Control Center, I clicked on File Types
which gave me the list of defined file types and an option to add a new file
type.  When I click on it, everything is ok until I enter the file type.
The help section says there should be an add button.  However, the dialog
box which is displayed has an area to enter a file type, but no help button
(only a remove one).  So, I cannot specify a file type.  First, is this the
correct way to add a file type?  Second, has anybody else experienced this,
or am I the only one missing an ADD button in this dialog box?  How can I
add a file type?

 

Thanks
