TECH: Opening Internet Files

[Teresa White <trwwhite@wf.net>]

There is a file with information on a commercial website that I wished to
view.  I downloaded it into my computer (Windows 95 using Microsoft
Internet Explorer). When  it finished a screen came up asking what I would
like to use to open it.  I didn't know so I picked Wordpad.  It came up
with lots of unreadable characters.  I have 2 problems. One is that when I
tried again it automatically opened into Wordpad again without giving me
any other options.  How do I stop that?  The 2nd question is, what do I use
to open and read the file (I do know it's print only as it's catalog I've
seen before in a non-computer setting.)  Help please.  TIA
