But suppose firefox isn't running. If I do 'M-x browse-url' and fill in the url, then firefox pops up for a second and then disappears. The same thing happens with links I click on in Emacs. I think I can imagine a shell script to deal with this, but surely there is something alread in Emacs. -- Hugh Lawson hlawson@triad.rr.com
