To check it, type `M-x w3m-history RET', visit the `about:' page or visit a url which begins with `file:'. We got a message about a similar problem from a Gentoo Linux user last week and it has been solved. Then I added the following part to the FAQ list. * Q. Why I cannot visit web pages using emacs-w3m? There is no problem when visiting local html files or using w3m barefoot, though. What is called the asynch patch(1) is applied to the w3m command which some Linux distribution (e.g. Gentoo Linux) contains. It is useful when using w3m barefoot, however it might make emacs-w3m hang. If it is suspected, we recommend you reinstall the w3m command from the original source. (1) w3m on cygwin (http://www.page.sannet.ne.jp/knabe/w3m/w3m.html) Should I add cygwin to the section? ;-)
