Then don’t enter just lynx ;-) Otherwise, you can override the homepage in the lynx.cfg file. Since you’re on a shellserver you cannot do that system-wide, but you can copy the system-wide one into your home directory and use the -cfg=FILENAME option to point to the changed file. > The idea is to change this default homepage, not just simply visit a > new site once. But the “homepage” is only shown if you don’t tell it a site to visit when starting. It’s probably easiest to make an alias, something like this: echo "alias 'ly=lynx http://the.new.start.site'" >>~/.bashrc Then typing ly will start lynx with the other start page. Easier than doing the config dance, unless you need that anyway. bye, //mirabilos -- FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much *much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
