I suppose stdout isn't interesting to it. OK, I suppose it detaches etc. so can't talk anymore. (I was wanting a way to register urls for later fetching.) It would be neat if I was asked to confirm I want to requst the URL too. A confirm varible that would trigger a y-or-no p. Because these ffap days, it's so easy to do find-file on an URL. Wait, I should be able to give differnt lettered responses depending on if I want to browse it with firefly, flowerfox or whatever, or register it with wwwoffle, or chicken out.
