This is very similar to the question I had asked regarding opening a  
TeX file in Edit and not in TeXView. Since saying  similar problems  
have similar solutions is true here. I will post the solution of a  
couple of people who sent me the soltion to give them the credit. 

SUBSTITUTE  .wn FOR .tex and  it should work

Here is the solution mailed to me by Dimitri, Similar solutins were  
posted  
by others

Open inspector when opening a .tex file. Press command-3. Click on  
Edit  
and press Set Default button. Now all .tex files will open in Edit.

One more solution posted by Rob Davis

 Other options:

        - Bring up the Tools Inspector and double click the
          application that you want to open the file.  This doesn't  
change  
the default.

- Drag the file to the Edit icon (in your Dock or somewhere on
          the screen) while holding down the Command key and drop  
the
          file onto the Edit icon.  Edit will try to open the file.

   I've heard stories from f2c producing 30% faster code then a
vendor's compiler to 30% slower code than the vendor's compiler.  I've
not heard stories of f2c being _much_ less efficient, where for me
much less efficient means a factor of 2 (100%) more or less efficient.
IMHO, f2c is a darn good compiler, on any platform.

Mine sends and receives faxes just fine.  Uucp just carries right on
doing its thing, DFax seems to stay right out of the way, as advertised.

One thing that frustrated me a little was DFax's insistence on living
in /LocalApps.  I'm a little shy on disk space, so I keep /LocalApps
as a link to an optical disk.  No big deal, I guess - I just rearranged
the links a bit - after some grumbling.

I had trouble recieving data calls - just garbage after connect - but
Bruce Gingery of TotSysSoft responded immediately (as usual) to my email,
pointing out a typo in his addition to my gettytab.  Everything works
just fine now.

   According to NeXT's docs, mailing faxes to a user has been removed from
NS 3.0.  I spent about 2 hours last night trying to get the system to send
me notifying mail when a fax arrives, to no avail.  If anyone knows how to
set this up under 3.0, I'd be eternally grateful ...

From the information that I have received, Appsoft Image does not "tile"
its memory usage, so memory consumption is proportional to the size of
the files opened for editing.  You should confirm this with Appsoft,
since we don't have a copy of Image for testing.

Our forthcoming product, Photosynthesis, uses a memory management model
based on "windowing" or "tiling" the image, so you only use memory for
what's being displayed on the screen.  The underlying engine was developed
for use on small-memory systems like Macintosh as well as Sun workstations,
so this has been a priority in its design.  In our experience testing it,
opening many-megabyte image files does not cause the swap file to grow.

Photosynthesis, for those who don't know, is a full-featured image editing
program that we are bringing to market.  It is based on the Artisan engine
from MediaLogic.  Look for Photosynthesis to be available in coming months
for $195.00 suggested retail.  We don't have an exact release date for it
yet.

You can get on our mailing list for further information as it becomes
available by sending mail to "info@rightbrain.com"

There are a lot of great demo's of commercial products on the Net.  DataPhile, Create (from Stone) are nice apps that I use a lot.  ImageViewer is a great app for opening all kinds of different graphic formated files.  I love the 'juke box' feature of sndMucker (yea I know he's not interested in sound, but if you have an OD full of music this is a fun feature).  Actually there is an awful lot of great software out there--and much of it comes with the source code!  I love Newsgrazer, but its not much use if

 you dont have access to the net.

For FrameMaker,
you will get dramatic speed improvement on NSC if you select a small bit
of text, set its text color to something that is not black/gray/white, and
then set it back to black again.  That is all you need to do.
But unfortunately you have to do it for each document each time you open it.

By doing the above, the window depth gets promoted to match the VRAM
organization.  This makes things much faster although you consume more
memory for backing store.  Unless your document contains colored items,
FrameMaker creates 2-bit gray windows on all machines initially.
This is not true with WordPerfect, which opens all documents (even if
you don't use color) with window depth matched to the display hardware.

After playing around with some demos on the archives, I've noticed that
some of the European software being produced for the NeXT is quite
good and/or shows a lot of promise (TIFFany as an example). However, 
there seem to be complications for acquiring such software (and a little 
price gouging going on as well).

If some US distributor would pick up on some of these apps, and make a deal
to offer them at a reasonable price, I think all of the NeXT community (and
that distributor :-) ) could benefit. At the very least, it could provide 
a nudge to some US developers who are turning out buggy products (or no 
products at all). At the very best, it would give all users access to 
some very good and very _needed_ apps.

BTW, the Feb/Mar 93 NeXTworld (wait a second -- I got that issue at the
first of Jan?) has an article that discussed some of the overseas 
development that's occurring.
