<H3><A NAME="ss7.1">7.1 Specifying the Default Browser</A>
</H3>
<P>KWebWatch can be used to display a URL in the web browser of your choice.
If you have specifed a particular URL should be presented in a particular
web browser, KWebWatch will comply. Otherwise, it will fall back to the
default browser, as specified in the View/Options menu.
<P>
<H3><A NAME="ss7.2">7.2 Example Browser Command Lines</A>
</H3>
<P>KWebWatch supports simple browser command line options. Here are some examples
which may be modified to match your preferences:
<P>
<DL>
<DT><B>KFM</B><DD><P>kfmclient openURL
<DT><B>Netscape</B><DD><P>netscape -geometry =400x500+0+0
<DT><B>Lynx</B><DD><P>kvt -e lynx
<DT><B>Lynx</B><DD><P>kvt -geometry 700x500+100+100 -e lynx
</DL>
KWebWatch will add the URL as the last argument with the above examples.
However, if "%s" appears in the command line, the URL will be inserted in
its place. This feature allows for the use of Netscape remote options,
as described in the next section.
<P>
<H3><A NAME="ss7.3">7.3 Netscape Tips</A>
</H3>
<P>Netscape can be launched with some interesting command line
options, which are outlined on the Netscape website
<A HREF="http://form.netscape.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html">here</A>.
<P>Perhaps the most useful option is the <CODE>-remote
'openURL(http://url.goes.here)'</CODE> option. This forces
a specified URL to be displayed in an existing running instance
of Netscape. If you want to use force this behavior when displaying
URLs from KWebWatch, place a "%s" where the URL should go:
<P>netscape -remote openURL(%s)
<P>This script will display the URL in a running copy of Netscape if their
is one. Otherwise, it will launch a new copy instead.
