I'm saying that there is a directory in /tmp that should reveal via its name that it was created by lynx (and not by e.g., gimp), that's all. Let's look around /tmp on my computer: orbit-jidanni/ esrv1000-jidanni1= ssh-szuwiB1755/ gconfd-jidanni/ See, the trend these days is to put what program made the dir out in front.

Yes. I'll send this directly too and see if I am still/ever was subscribed. _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
