Hi,
During recent years I've been using slrn + jed + screen combo
which worked fine for me. But since screen somehow does not
work on my Slackware box (bug with locale, anyone knows the
solution for this?) I've decided to switch my beloved editor
and newsreader for something new (namely: I wanted to have
integrated environment, all things in one place). The choice
was easy: emacs + gnus. I've configured all things and it
works fine except one things: the browser. In every day
browsing the Web I use links and since I am used to it I don't
want to change to any other (lynx or w3). Here simple
question/problem occurs: how does one integrate the thing with
emacs?
My first idea was to use (setq browse-url-generic-program
"links") in .emacs file but this does not work; or rather:
this works since links is listed in ps aux output but it is
placed on some strange terminal which I can't make visible. My
second idea was to search the Web; there I found links.el
somewhere in the groups archives. This *does* work but it runs
links in separate terminal which I don't like that much. I
want to have my browser executed in the Emacs buffer as to
copy/paste things from the webpage to the edited text for
example. There's function links-browse-with-buffer (or
similar) but this just copies the text from page to the buffer
(at least in my case). Does anyone know any reasonable
solution to this problem? Did anyone succeded in integrating
links and emacs? I'll be most gratefull for any hints/tips you
may have.
