I'm running Pine 4.05 currently. I've always used Lynx but have changed to
opening netscape now. The only problem is that it opens a "NEW" process.
It _IS_ posible, from what the pine help says, to have pine open the link
in the currently running netscape process. This uses the -remote arg
somehow.
Sorry but i no longer run 4.00 so i can not look but in 4.05 go into the
Menu--Setup--Config and at the very bottom i use the following to open a
new netscape process:
url-viewers= _TEST("test -n '${DISPLAY}'")_/usr/local/netscape4.5/netscape
Look at the help for the url-viewers (press ?) and it'll give you more
info. If anyone can figure out how to get this to *NOT* open a new process
but display the link on the current process please let us know.
thanx
Robert
PS. 4.00 i believe could do this aswell but i think i always used the lynx
program. Also (off topic a bit but related), i also use the following if i
simply want to view an image someone emailed to me without having to save
to disk. Both of these options are close to the very bottom of the config.
image-viewer = /usr/bin/X11/xv
