Konqueror sub-menu

How do I (or can it be done???) set Konqueror so that the default action when I click on a text file is to preview in the embedded text editor rather than open with Kwrite?
I tried editing the service menus but this doesn't appear to be an editable service menu. or else I just can't find the right one.

Which kde version are you using?
I use KDE3.2-RC1. Under Control Center -> KDE Components -> Component Chooser -> Embedded Text Editor I can choose the Embedded Text Editor. You too?
Additionally I can right-click on a textfile and choose "preview in -> embedded text viewer"

I'm using kde 3.1.3 (Mandrake system). I haven't managed to get 3.2 working yet..having compiling problems. 3.1.3 also has the 'Component chooser' which I have set to embedded text editor but still the default action when you click on a text file is to open it with Kwrite. I can right click & select 'preview in embedded text editor' but I want it to be the default action on a single left click.

I figured it out & it's simple.
Control Center->KDE Componets->File Associations, Rt click on the file type & set the 'Left click action' to "Embedded editor' instead of 'Separate Viwer'.
