Pine & Netscape
Hello everyone,
I've been playing with pine so it'll open a netscape window if I
wish to follow a link from an email. I've read through the 'online' help
in pine and even found a link on the netscape site about the -remote
(http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html) argument to control
an existing netscape session. Since I usually already have a browser
window open I'd like for pine to simply control that browser and open the
new url.
I've been playing with this for sometime now and have not been
able to get it working. The following will _start_ a new process thus
conflicting with bookmarks and lock files. It works but not what i want.
url-viewers = _TEST("test -n '${DISPLAY}'")_ /usr/local/netscape4.5/netscape
Does anyone know of how to use the -remote argument or some other
way for pine to open the selected url in the current netscape process?
Thanks for any help in this. I'm not sure but this could possibly also be
of interest to other pine/netscape users.
