I don't think the problem lies with browse-url. It is part of the GNU
emacs 21.2.1 distribution (that is, it is in the emacs/lisp/net
directory, and works fine with Netscape. But, according to the
documentation for browse-url-new-window-flag:
-----8<-----
*If non-nil, always open a new browser window with appropriate browsers.
Passing an interactive argument to M-x browse-url, or specific browser
commands reverses the effect of this variable. Requires Netscape version
1.1N or later or XMosaic version 2.5 or later if using those browsers.
-----8<-----
So, I think browse-url and Phoenix don't know how to communicate in
this respect. Possibly the Phoenix documentation can provide a clue
how browse-url should be patched.
Just my $0.02.
Cheers,
Karel
