Here I am signing into yahoo groups for reading a saved listserv here. I fill in my id, password, etc, then to to the next link, where I see a "bullet-list", but where the bullets themselves aren't dots or [] or - or anything you might expect, but the digit SEVEN, "7".
Bizarre, Bizarre. So, I'd like to hit backslash and see the html, like where did those sevens come from. But, afraid to do that, because it destroys into in the "form", or cgi, or wherever. --- We've been talking about this for what, five years? More? SUGGESTION: as we read-in an html file to parse, we could *very* cheaply write each line out to some file in eg /tmp. The name we give to that file would be the same name we're offered when we've done a back-slash, and then a p(rint). Except, I suppose, we'd suggest (via the default filename) /tmp. Perhaps with a special LYNX-ONLY prefix or suffix, so that we can easily do a "rm lynxPrefix--*.html", say. (do that via emacs' "dired", and you get to see a buffer with just those filenames to be deleted, and then you get a "are you sure you really want to do this" syle of question, and if you say yes, the whole bunch dissappears, zap, gone.) (A little safer, emacs' dired) ---- To avoid taking up too much room, we could provide a queue of some desired length (the smaller, the fewer files saved), maybe length three as default, and you parse and display on-screen t1.html -- and save that t1.html to disk in /tmp, *and* stuff it into the top of the queue, If there were already three items in there, this new one pushes out the one on the other end, ie the longest-in-there so far. What to do with that one? rm that file. Easy. Simple! Enough for now. David ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
