KDE's Klipper (cut-n-paste clipboard applet in the taskbar) has a feature which makes this work "anywhere." If you highlight a recognized string, it will pop-up a menu giving options as to what to do with it. So if it sees that you've highlighted: http://something.com/foo/bar/ it pops up a menu asking if you'd like to view that URL in Konqueror, Netscape, Opera, Links, etc. Or if it sees something like: /home/kendrick/photos/melissa.jpg it pops up a menu asking if I'd like to view it with KDE's image viewer. It's not QUITE as useful as just being able to click or meta-click an URL, and have it launch a browser right off, but it's nice that it works EVERYwhere, not just in terminals. (It doesn't even need to be a KDE app., either, thanks to the wonders of X11) -bill! _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
