Hi all, I have come up with a really simple solution for something that bugged me since some time. When in Pine I hit a URL that I want to see, default behaviour is that Pine runs Netscape. Okay by itself, but as long as netscape is running, Pine is occupied in watching when it is finished. So while waiting for a page to load I could not read mail. I came up with this little workaround: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/netscape-navigator -no-about-splash $1 & I call it 'netrun', and stuck it in my ~/bin directory (which is in my personal path of course). Then I told Pine to run ~/bin/netrun as the browser. And voila, no more problem, netrun launches netscape with the URL, and then returns to Pine, fast as a flash :) Perhaps someone now laughs and will tell me there's a much easier solution, but I am glad I got this one going! Feel free to use it if you like it. (Don't forget to chmod +x it.)
