I have a question. I use aliases for everything. Because Lynx is so zippy, I just spawn or quit out of wherever I am, type my alias (ie, 'si') and I'm off to the races. MUCH faster than clicking. --- For instance, I use '?' for Google, 'dic' for websters dictionary, and most recently, 'rtq' for real-time quotes. What I'm wanting to do is to go the next step with those three and pass on an $argument. --- how do I turn my aliases into scripts so that 'rtq aep' looks up the realtime quote on SI for American Electric Power, '? clue' searches 'clue' on Google and 'dic idiot' looks up the word 'idiot' in the dictionary? -JCJ
