chemical mime (pdb/RasMol)

Dear all,
I am having trouble configuring Netscape 1.0N to use RasMol 2.5.1 for viewing
pdb-format files. I'm running on an SGI Indigo2 under IRIX 5.2. I have the
following line in my ~/.mailcap file:

chemical/x-pdb; winterm -T RasMol -e rasmol %s

This starts up a command window and a RasMol window as expected, but I get
the following error message in the command (and no molecule in the RasMol one):

Error: File '/usr/tmp//MO1243136.pdb' not found!

The problem appears to be the extra slash - the MO1243136.pdb bit is
Mozilla's scratch file of the pdb file and is variable.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on? And, more to the point, how can I
fix it?
