- <variablelist>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>File types</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>You can specify how files
-of various types are displayed and edited. For example, you can specify an
-icon to represent a particular type of file. For another example, you can
-specify that if a file is a plain text file, the file is launched in a text
-editor.</para>
- <para>The file manager and other GNOME applications check the contents of
-a file to determine the type of a file. If the first lines do not determine
-the type of the file, then the application checks the filename.</para>

- <para>A <firstterm>Uniform Resource
-Identifier</firstterm> (URI) is a string that identifies a particular location
-in a file system or on the Web. For example, the web address of a web page
-is a URI. A <firstterm>service</firstterm> is a protocol or task that a URI
-requests. For example, the <literal>http://www.gnome.org</literal> URI requests
-the <literal>http</literal> service. </para>
- <para>You can associate an application with a service, so that the application
-performs the task required by the service. For example, you can associate
-your preferred web browser with the <literal>http</literal> service.</para>
