Thanks for your reply. I made the change in .pinerc and I was able to get netscape to load the url (I looked at your website! you have a nice bike!!!) but I had to have netscape already running for it to work. The strange thing is that I have another host where this isn't necessary??? What is w3m? I don't have it on my system. Gerry On Sun, 26 Mar 2000, Lenz Grimmer wrote:

Hi,

I have selected the option for URL's to be selected for viewing and I have put in the full path name of netscape to use as the viewer.

OK, I hit enter once the URL is highlighted and am asked if I want to view the URL. I answer yes and netscape starts. However, it doesn't go to the URL. It just comes up and sits there.

Was I supposed to have added some paramter after the full path to netscape??? Right now I just have /opt/netscape/netscape.

Put _URL_ behind this, and it should work.

This is what I have in my .pinerc:

# List of programs to open Internet URLs (e.g. http or ftp references). url-viewers=_TEST("test -n '${DISPLAY}'")_ "/usr/X11R6/bin/Netscape -raise -remote 'openURL('_URL_')'", "/usr/bin/w3m _URL_"

This one checks, if I run X (DISPLAY variable is set) and tells the already running Netscape to open the URL. When in text mode, it runs w3m (which is much better than lynx IMHO).

Bye, LenZ

w3m is a wonderful text-based web browser. It supports mouse interaction, cookies, frames (it renders them unlike lynx), tables, etc.
