I did this in a different way, I think.
My realplay is installed in /usr/local/RealPlayer8, and I choose to open 
the file type using an external application (in mozilla I was prompted) 
and chose /usr/local/RealPlayer8/realplay as the executable, which cause 
it to start each time I click a .ram link. I think I repeated the 
process with .rm, etc.
