Re: new user, please bear with me

Hi Bela,

g $0 <enter> doesn't work, but thanks for the idea.

I've resorted to writing a acript that creats a folder and gophermap 
for each phlog entry. As gophermaps contain clickable links it solves my problem.
I still regret though that Lynx can't identify url's in text files and convert them
to links. Lynx internally converts gophermap text files to html after all.
Unfortunately my capabilities don't extend to getting Lynx to do that.
