Thank you much for that bit of info. Always wanted a way of doing exactly what that section covers and never knew where to look for it. Now if I could only add procmail rules to centericq and get my mixer working my system would be perfect.

After a lot of time messing around--I am pathetic at this--I discovered that I had to specify the path to the program. It installed in a place not in my $PATH statement. Took a while to find it. It was installed at /usr/X11R6/bin/xclip. When I put the entire path in, the url pass-off function worked fine and it showed up on the clipboard.

Re: [elinks-users] Forwarding links?
This is weird. I don't get it. The command which xclip returns nothing. I just get the prompt again. But I watched it download and install, with the file size (a small one), then "previously deselected file selected" and then running through the rest of the install. Furthermore, when I do apt-get install xclip, I get the following message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/seth# apt-get install xclip Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done xclip is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. which seems to indicate that it's already there. I don't know if I would affect matters, but I'm running klipper, the KDE clip manager. I don't know what it uses, but it's up at the moment. This is puzzling. If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate them. Best...

Yes indeed, I added that action just as it was specified. I mistyped the error message I'm still getting.

[elinks-users] Forwarding links?
The only thing that I regard as a downside to using elinks is the fact that it's considerably harder to forward links to friends. Good or bad, I tend to do this all day long as I run into web pages that various friends might find interesting. Some browsers, such as Opera, make it real easy to do this. I haven't found an easy way to forward a link from within elinks. The link copy function, if that's what it is, is clunky. Does anybody know of a quick and easy way to e-mail the link you're on in elinks to a friend?
