This also causes lynx to switch displays so that the Web page where the viewer was started from isn't even visible while the image viewer is executing. It would be nice if Lynx could run external X applications in the background. In theory, it would be enough to add a & after the command to spawn the viewer. For example, putting this in ~/.mailcap works (for GIF images only...) image/gif; /usr/X11R6/bin/display '%s' &; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; description=GIF Image; nametemplate=%s.gif (the same line that is in my /etc/mailcap, but with & added after the command) My suggestion: Change lynx to implicitly add a & after every mailcap entry that doesn't have the "needsterminal" flag, and that has the string "$DISPLAY" in the test= clause (trying to find X apps here, because I imagine console-based image viewers might not have the needsterminal flag - I don't know if this is the case, though, so the latter check might not be necessary). -- -=- Rjs -=- rjs@lloke.dna.fi   Acknowledgement sent to rjs@isil.lloke.dna.fi (Riku Saikkonen):
