That's a Pigeonism, based on the thought of "bollocks to all the fancy stuff". What it does is create a file /tmp/cleandoc.html, based on dodgydoc.html but with all the <B>, </B>, <EM> and </EM> removed. sed - stream editor -e - next argument is a string describing some action s - substitute / - this... <B> - ...string here... / - ...for this one... / - ...oh, it wasn't there, use a null string g - do this for every <B> in the line > > > Actually I would like to change the black background to default > > > just like mutt enables but lynx.cfg seems to be a bit stubborn > > > here.

I'm using /etc/lynx.cfg to set options globally as I'm the only user and it's easy that way. I've just experimented with creating a ~/lynx.cfg or ~/.lynx.cfg, and lynx doesn't see that unless I use the -cfg option. Which I find odd. Maybe that's what's happening to you? Maybe there's some funny convention about the name of a personal lynx.cfg of which both of us are unaware? Pigeon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
