Re: any way to listen to url using command line?
Has anyone tried surfraw in a script context for a browser drop in? I
used surfraw and found a number when searching for a search string on
youtube and moved onto that number then used = to bring up the link's
information and found the actual url I put in that message on the last
URL: line on that page. I like surfraw as a lynx add-on, but am
wondering what would happen if I were able to use elinks as surfraw's
browser in terms of web pages like youtube complaining about me not
using java script supported browsers.

If I got a nickel for every message I've already sent supporting Microsoft
Windows and its applications I'd have enough to retire on comfortably no
matter what the stock market did.
