It would be useful, no? Well, I think it shouldn't be a problem to include if we can agree on the best implementation. Currently, I think the best option is: 1. Search jump URL for "%s"; 2. If found, prompt for input; 3. Substitute %s with input; 4. Go! It might even be worth storing a boolean in the JumpDatum structure when loading the jumps to speed-up repeated uses of jumps. - mgsk. _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
