Thank you. I thought that just putting x="blah" was the same as putting export x="blah". I did what you suggested and it sort of worked, in that the Safari browser opened up but it tried to go to a mangled URL on my local drive. It also launched multiple instances of Safari, which usually isn't possible on a Mac. Mac OS has the concept of application bundles, which presents folders (in this example the Safari.app folder) as a single application. I think having pan go inside the bundle to directly run the Safari executable isn't a good idea. However, using what you suggested, I was able to get it to work! If you put this: export BROWSER="open -a Safari" then it works like a champ. Ironically, this is exactly what I used to use in pan 0.14's Application Preference, so I should have tried that first. Oops. Thanks! Jeff __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
