:) 'prefix' field will be equal to pressing '.' on it.
:) Personally I use it for invoking 'links' browser for ftp links - it caches
:) ftp connections so it doesn't reconnect when directory is changed. Here is
:) a setting I use:
:) EXTERNAL:ftp://:links %s:TRUE:TRUE

:) Seems Eduardo wanted this functionality.
Dear Vlad and list members,
Vlad -- the patch works great for me, it allows me to use pine as my
default mailer, it's working great!. I compiled using slang and the only
problem I'm having so far is that the screen does not get refreshed
automatically, so when I quit pine, say, teh only visible thing is the
link, not the page. Of course I don't care about refreshing the screen.
I encourage the application of this patch (with improvements if
necessary) to the official distribution of lynx.
Vlad, thanks a lot!!
