Hi,

I'd run lynx from a script that reads the url from stdin and sets the
STARTFILE to that value.
That wouldn't solve the problem, because I need to visit the URL
_during_ a session, after lynx has received some cookies from the server
it will send while requesting the URL provided by the script.
To give a bit of context, this is intended to reach URLs that are
normally activated by javascripts. I have hacked through these sccripts
and know what the URLs look like, and so I would like to be able to call
from lynx a scipt that would produce these long URLs which depend only
on a few parameters, rather than typing them all the time (the URL
history helps, sure, but still it's annoying).
You could do something like that as an external-viewer, but that would
involve running another copy of lynx as a subprocess (not good for
navigation, since you'd have to exit the subprocess to return to the
process containing the history up to that point).
The only thing analogous to reading a script is the provision for running
an external editor in textarea's (which would-be-nice-if the same feature
worked in any string-prompt).
Perhaps what you're looking for is some hybrid of those two areas
(requiring new code to support it).
