Your personal ".mime.types" file in your $HOME directory overrules any settings in the global mime.types file. So you should be able to set up a file in your $HOME directory called ".mime.types" and put in the line: text/plain c h That should make lynx treat *.c and *.h files as plain text. If I understand you correctly, that should do what you want. An alternative, if you don't want to set up a .mime.types file in your $HOME directory, would be to use your personal lynx.cfg file. Set SUFFIX_ORDER:PRECEDENCE_HERE Then set: SUFFIX:.c:text/plain SUFFIX:.h:text/plain Doug -- Doug Kaufman Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
