That kind of bug have been fixed eg, ENABLE_LYNXRC:*session* now works when thay are put in global lynx.cfg. > > For TD : I suggest adding to lynx.cfg after the line > > # (The current working directory may be changed inside lynx) > > the lines > > # If you want to use the same session file wherever you invoke Lynx, > # enter the full path below, eg '/home/<username>/.lynx_session'. No, it cant be added to _gloabal_ lynx.cfg because today most of OS are multi user, and when session_file is read it doesnt check for current <username> Perhaps session stuff should be enabled by default in lynxrc so users dont need to invest their time in enabling fetaures in global lynx.cfg and instead use 'o'. > I hope you don't need a patch (smile). > > -- > ========================,,============================================ > SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [email protected] > ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies > TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto > > > _______________________________________________ > Lynx-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev > -- Paul _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
