Well, have you tried dillo? It opens faster than any quartz-based browser I have seen. It's not as complete, of course, as OmniWeb. But for a help browser it is largely sufficient. And lynx, of course, opens as fast as /usr/bin/more. > btw: i noticed the OSX windowing mechanism in XFree86 was recently > rewritten and checked into CVS. Anyone tried it? Faster?

Nothing to do with openurl. Reset your browser > preference to omniweb. You have to do it often, generally. There seems to be something else here. I have now played with launch a bit. Turns out: launch http://www.cnn.com opens IE launch -l http://www.cnn.com opens OmniWeb (set as default browser) everytime. Opening a file locally always opens IE, irrespective of whether I call it with "launch" or with "launch -l" and whether I give just the filename or file://<filename>. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
