I'm unsure of the syntax of browse-url-browser-function. evaluating the following: (setq browse-url-browser-function "fire-fox") ;; where fire-fox is a simple script that I use to launch firefox ;; on my RH Linux 9.0 maching Results in the following error message: "Wrong type argument: listp, fire-fox" Pointers to docs or examples are welcome. thanks tim -- Tim Johnson <tim@johnsons-web.com> http://www.alaska-internet-solutions.com
