----- Forwarded message from landry Dale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Date: Sun, 22 Dec 2002 12:27:23 -0800 (PST) From: landry Dale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am a new Lynx user. OS - Win98 I had the same problem many beginners do, with the bookmark file ending up in the C:\Windows\Temp folder. Based on another user's suggestion, I changed my lynx.bat file to read: @ECHO OFF set term=vt100 set home=g:\lynx set temp=c:\temp // This is strange but it works. The bookmark file ends up in g:\lynx\temp. // set lynx_cfg=g:\lynx\lynx.cfg g:\lynx\lynx.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 That solved the bookmark problem, but now the program will not create an options file. I get two error messages when I press "o": "Alert! Unable to open tempfile." "Alert! LYNXOPTIONS:/" If I do not set a temp file path or set it as g:\lynx\temp, both the bookmarks file and the options file end up in C:\Windows\Temp. I have my bookmark file in g:\lynx\temp. I would like my options file in g:\lynx\options' or even in the root folder lynx. It would be very helpful to show on your site the best way to set up the batch file for Win9X and also explain why it is set up that way. I can't imagine anyone wanting to keep their bookmarks and options in their Windows Temp file! To me, this problem comes under "beginner" stuff. Thanks for listening!
