I don't really know a good solution, but if you add the line 

   application/x-netcdf            nc cdf

to your ~/.mime.types file and 

   application/x-netcdf; ncdump -h %s

to your ~/.mailcap file 

Then you will get *some* of the output in the STDOUT popup in netscape.

If you turn off the default behavior for handling STDOUT by adding the
line 

netscape*useStdoutDialog:       False

to your ~/.Xdefaults file,

then ncdump will dump to the xterm where you fired off Netscape.


I hope someone had a better solution!
