May i know what's lynx? How do i set it? There's a script called news.tcl which can be found in http://www.egghelp.org which require me to set:

set lynx "/usr/bin/lynx"

What's this and how do i set it so that the script can work? Any ideas?

Thanks

Lynx is a *nix console (simalar to a dos screen, much much better) based web-browser.

The script requires that the path be set to the location of lynx (IE, what directory it is in).

To find out, use the whereis command
EG

[mylogin@ctdadmin1 ~]# whereis lynx
lynx: /usr/bin/lynx /etc/lynx.cfg /man/man1/lynx.1

Note, that in the output,t here are a few entries. The first one, is most likely to be the one we want, as it is in a "bin" (binaries) directory.

So you would set the line int he config file to

set lynx "/usr/bin/lynx"
