I had left a gnu/screen session running on a linux console and this regrettably included an "autostarted" instance of my previous version of elinks. I had read somewhere about there being a master instance of elinks so-to-speak.. and that other instances just connect to this master instance. Obviously, I do not have any understanding of the implications beyond "whatever you do.. don't leave an instance of elinks running when making changes.. never mind recompiling.." So I guess that's what caused all the fuss. In any event I now have the Sripting feature in the About dialogue and I'm not getting any more of these "JavaScript is not enabled" messages. Pity I can't remember any of the (few) instances where I ran into a problem when js was not enabled.. Thanks much for all the help and all apologies for the confusion. cga _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
