launch is way cool. Thanks for the hint!

I said that I thought it would be quite easy to pactch surfraw to use launch and that way reach Chimera. In fact is isn't even needed to patch it:

$ google -browser='launch Chimera' java os x
$ britannica -browser='launch Chimera' platypus

Make a few aliases for this if you think it's to much typing. (Please share those aliases).

osxpez,

Thanks for the use. I was using in X11:

google -browser=mozilla osx
and
google -browser=mozilla -search=mac osx

And in OSX :
google -browser='launch -l' osx (will open your default browser)

Tomorrow will try some more and share.


Cheers...

Surfraw
 
is there any way not to use Lynx with Surfraw. I would like to open either IE or Netscape/Mozilla.

Any ideas?

I installed 'launch' with Fink and use it together with surfraw to open my default browser, then use different aliases:

Code:
alias wet      'wetandwild singapore -browser='launch''
 alias wet1    'wetandwild -browser='launch''
 alias wetn    'wetandwild New York -browser='launch''
 alias go      'google -browser='launch''
 alias bri      'britannica -browser='launch''

Cheers...
