star-command to fetch a web page
does there exist a command i can put in an obeyfile or type in a taskwindow that would tell the browser to fetch a certain web page? (and launch the browser if it's not already running?) e.g. *heyfetch text string i'm trying to set up a Keystroke to do this from a selected bit in a textfile. *wget is on the right line but of course fetches the stuff only as text in a taskwindow. -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk

Not sure if this is what you want, but ... Open the page, menu over it, Page Save Location Acorn URI and save this file to a suitable location. Double-clicking on this (or making Keystroke pretend to do this) will open the page in NetSurf, as long as NS is running or has been seen by the filer.

(which in this exercise would contain a selection of text from another application). maybe i should be asking this part on c.s.a.apps, because it has to do with !Keystroke. -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk
I can not make sense of this.
When I receive an email with an attachment which tells me to click on a subject it doesn't always down load as it used to and says OK(0.4s) 3/3 stylesheets 0/0 objects. Please remember that I am visually impaired and not computer wise. Hope someone can advise. See you at Kenilworth, Alan --
