Hi.

This message was sent around Christmas.  But the message never got 
through.  So now I resend.  I initially wished merry Christmas web 
sites.  But that doesn't apply now.

Here is a file I wrote.  I have wanted to access URLs efficiently, right as
they may appear in e-mail messages.  Took a while to come up with this.  I
had considered writing an Extension file for this purpose even. After much
ado, it dawned on me that I could write a term script to accomplish my goal.
 And, it has worked out.

This is a script for Dialogue 128. The file is uuencoded.  Extract it, and
put it on your Dialogue disk.

Here's how it works.  When you come upon a "http..." reference in a
message, you can run the script, and it will attempt to run the Lynx
browser quite Automatically (la).  If none is there, then you're still
in control, and if you scroll to a URL, then the script will proceed.
It doesn't matter what UNIX program you are running.  The script should
"catch" any reference, exit, and invoke Lynx.  No mouse click here, but it's
close to that.

The script is called LA.  I might have called it "Grab Url" or "Access
Web Page"... but I would prefer little typing to get this done.  If you do
like rather long names, you can always pick the script right from the
directory.  Any important content in your Dialogue buffer should be saved
before running the script.

Once thy Winter Web tidings have been viewed and thyself doth quit Lynx,
thee may return to any program thee exited by typing "fg".
