Re: LYNX-DEV passing a url to a program

[David Whitten]

I don't know much about lynx. but I think you can do this either thru a 
setting up a print command in lynx.cfg or a speciallized download command.
I've actually never done either, but I have seen folks mention that as
a solution on the mailinglist.
