I'm using the include facility in lynx to keep a small file in my home directory which has my customizations in it. That way I don't have a problem with lynx.cfg being updated. (The install of lynx.cfg renames the previous version to lynx.oldcfg, but that only lasts til the next install). By setting the $LYNX_CFG environment variable, you can override the default /usr/local/lib/lynx.cfg to your own file. Mine looks something like # $Id: config,v 1.8 2002/02/01 23:24:54 tom Exp $ include:lynx.cfg SCROLLBAR:true USE_MOUSE:true DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE:100 DEFAULT_VIRTUAL_MEMORY_SIZE:5120000 SOURCE_CACHE:FILE PERSISTENT_COOKIES:true LYNX_SIG_FILE:.signature verbose_images:true MAKE_LINKS_FOR_ALL_IMAGES:true EXTERNAL:ftp:w3m %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:file:w3m %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:w3m %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:links %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:wget %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:wget -r %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:ftp:netscape %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:file:netscape %s:TRUE so it includes lynx.cfg, then modifies things. -- T.E.Dickey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
