"Dinner's on!" "Ohmygod, I'm already 20min late!" etc, etc, everyone's subject to *some* of them. --- What I myself do to protect myself, when browsing the web (of course, via lynx), is to "V" and then "\" and then p(rint) it out to a file, its name always prefixed by "V-page", and, usually, followed the date and time "right now", followed by a .html. Might Lynx's saving of these V-page files possibly be of use to more than just me? (To me, one of the neatest features of Lynx *is* this very ability to get a V-page.html file that I can then read back in whenever I want.) Might its usefulness (assuming that's what its thought to be -- useful) be worth automating it, at least by having a command that writes out the current V-page's html into a file the default name of which might (via .lynxrc? cfg?) be "V-page-todayDate-localTimeNow.html" -- and since that would be only the *default*, if someone wanted to add a "what-I-was-browsing-for" string to the name, he/she merely backspaces over the .html, enters -myWhyAndWhat.html, and hits <return>. --- QUESTION: Would *anyone* (other than this suggestions-requiring-work-by-other-people-submitter) like to have available such a feature? --- This obvious-once-mentioned use of the V key followed by the \ key, should, I would think, be added to the "Lynx hints and tricks" doc. Perhaps likewise the FYI below: [START FYI-ASIDE] To put one of these V-page files back into effect, 100% restoring the V-environment when it had been saved, and thus every link visited during that entire session up to write-file time, made *again* (*trivially simply* visitable), instead of trying (90% unsuccessfully) to answer a G by hand-entering that long name, I merely copy that file to eg t5.html (no long name-typing when you use my shell-isp's emacs and its incredibly-wonderful dired-feature) which is all I need (that t5.html file), since up towards the top of my 3,000-line bookmark-file is this block of lines: <LI><a href="file://localhost///net/u/1/d/dkcombs/t.html">TEST net-u-1-d-dkcombs-LOCALHOST for t.html </a> <LI><a href="file://localhost///net/u/1/d/dkcombs/t1.html">TEST net-u-1-d-dkcombs-LOCALHOST for t1.html </a> <LI><a href="file://localhost///net/u/1/d/dkcombs/t2.html">TEST net-u-1-d-dkcombs-LOCALHOST for t2.html </a> <LI><a href="file://localhost///net/u/1/d/dkcombs/t3.html">TEST net-u-1-d-dkcombs-LOCALHOST for t3.html </a> ... ... ... <LI><a href="file://localhost///net/u/1/d/dkcombs/t18.html">TEST net-u-1-d-dkcombs-LOCALHOST for t18.html </a> <LI><a href="file://localhost///net/u/1/d/dkcombs/t19.html">TEST net-u-1-d-dkcombs-LOCALHOST for t19.html </a> <LI><a href="file://localhost///net/u/1/d/dkcombs/t20.html">TEST net-u-1-d-dkcombs-LOCALHOST for t20.html </a> [END FYI-ASIDE] I'm sure there's *lots* of people on this list who'll have the necessary interest *and spare time* to implement my idea, ASAP! :-) David Combs ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
