[svlug] How To Automate Netscape -was- search domain

[Matt Billenstein]

Yeah, that's cool, but does anyone actually use netscape anymore?

Is this supported in the old 4.x Netscape as well as the new 6.x Netscape?

thx

| The command "netscape -help" prints out a list of command-line
| options for netscape (I'm using version 4.73).
|
| This is one of them:
|
|      -remote <remote-command>  to execute a command in an already-running
|      Netscape process.  For more info, see
|      http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html
|
| That web page includes the commands below.  I tried this one
| and it worked perfectly:
|
|    netscape -remote "openURL(www.wbix.org, new-window)"
|
| So you can write a script or program to manipulate a URL
| any way you want and then call it up in Netscape.
|
| Or one could put a list of URLs in a file, and then run
| a script that calls up each one in Netscape, pauses while
| it loads, and prints it out as postscript to a file or
| the printer.
|
| Or an application program could use Netscape to display
| fancy context-sensitive help screens.
