Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Wireshark and .rf5 files from Tektronix

Hello all,

How should I configure my Wireshark( version 1.0.1) in order to read this type of files? I read about *Tektronix K12xx/K15 .rf5 files* on http://wiki.wireshark.org/K12 but I got lost at this part:

"The configuration file contains a list of stk-file/encapsulation-protocol pairings separated by a space.

To set wireshark to use a k12 config file go to Preferences->Protocols->k12 and write the filename in the "Configuration filename" preference. You can specify a k12 config file using -o 'k12.config: /path/to/k12_config on the command line.

Example configuration file

# comments are lines that start with a '#'
# sorry no spaces in filenames are allowed yet
C:\K1297\stacks\umts_iu\umts_iu_ranap_alcap_2002-03.stk sscf-nni
C:\K1297\stacks\umts_iu\umts_iu_ranap_alcap_2002-09.stk sscop
D:\K15\stacks\gprs\gprs_Gb_R99.stk fr
D:\K15\stacks\umts_iu\umts_iu_ranap_alcap_2002-09.stk sscop
D:\K15\stacks\umts_iu\umts_iu_ranap_alcap.stk sscop
C:\K1205\stacks\whibisup.stk mtp2
C:\K1297\stacks\gsm2p\gsm2p_gmsc.stk mtp2
C:\K1297\stacks\umts_iu\umts_iu_ranap_alcap.stk sscop " ...

 Because in Preferences->Protocols->k12 i don't have a option called "Configuration filename" and I don't know where to make the configuration from the example from above.
Also I tried to open wireshark from cmd (I work on Windows) with the -o 'k12.config: /path/to/k12_config option but I get a invalid -o flag k12.config I mention that in Preferences->Protocols-> I have k12xx and not k12. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance
