Anyone know if that's possible? Like, say my w3m can't get to http://localhost/blah because it's using a proxy, and I know the hostname of the proxy, so I want to find the variable that contains the proxy so I can unset it. What's the command that says, "Show me the variable whose value contains X". Thanks, Jim ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
