Change internet protocol helper in Lion?

Is there a way to change the internet protocol helpers in Lion? I want
to open "ssh://" in Terminal (it used to open there before, but now it
opens in Interarchy and I don't know how to change it back).

There was a prefs called "More Internet" before, but the developers
site is down and it would probably not work for Lion anyway.

Any other way?

Try asking on *comp.sys.mac.advocacy* also. Lots of smart Mac users
there.

Two things you can do (*aside from ignoring the troll who sends
you to *.advocacy newsgroups):

a. use open -a APPLICATION_NAME "whatever you want to open"
For your query: open -a Terminal.app "ssh://"

b. http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/

Not sure if the latter works with Lion, but it should, I think.

No, this is when I click links, so I can't control it in any way.

This, however, did the trick! I didn't find it in my googling, thanks
a bunch!

Yes, but it's nicer for us here to remove:
comp.sys.mac.advocacy

Which I did.

What version of Mac OS X are you running? I'm on 10.6.8 and I don't see
a "Customize" in System Preferences's View menu.

It's the fourth item in the View menu, BTW.
