Detlev,

Thank you for your reply. I'm using eric 4.1.1(r1972), which is the version in
the Ubuntu repositories. I don't understand what you mean by mime type in this
context, the files are ascii text, on my local machine with a .js extension.
Under "Project" -> "Filetype Associations" I've set "*.js" as "sources".

Some of the files, when double clicked in the project-viewer, don't open at all,
and some open in an external editor. It looks like only those files that start
with a c-style comment are opened.

Thank you,

J. David Lee
