66 Interesting.  I looked in my dolphinrc config file and the
67 OpenExternally* line is not there at all.  I added it to the file, just
68 for giggles.  I'll logout Sunday or Monday and then try to figure out
69 what I can use to open a tab and see if that setting works or not.

71 My screen looks just like yours except for the missing bit I need.  Just
72 like me to have that huh?  lol
