That might have been the intention, but in practice "sr pe<tab>" (for "http://www.cpan.org/modules/00modlist.long.html";) is just as much part of surfraw's default-install functionality as "sr cu<tab>" (for "http://www.xe.net/ucc";). If you want to demonstrate the idea of local-resource bookmarks, external URLs won't convey that idea very effectively; what's needed is a list of localhost URLs in /usr/share/doc/surfraw/examples/surfraw.bookmarks. > So please add currency > locally or try elinks, which has close-to-perfect bookmark management. :-) There are three main reasons why I won't be adding the ucc to my in-browser bookmarks: * I personally have no need for a currency-converter; * /etc/surfraw.bookmarks has the advantage of being site-wide and non-browser-specific * there already _is_ a currency "bookmark" - but it goes through the /usr/lib/surfraw/currency shellscript, written in the days before surfraw had a bookmarks list. What I am suggesting is a policy of shifting elvi that point at a single static URL into the bookmarks list, which apart from anything else would actually make them run faster for those who do use them. But it wouldn't bother me if you don't, since nothing's forcing me to use /usr/lib/surfraw/currency. Thanks for maintaining surfraw! -- JBR Ankh kak!
