You mean sending URL's to a running netscape vith urlview ?
I do it that way:
# My urlview file. - 27.2.98
# regular expression to use to match URLs
REGEXP ([a-z]*://|mailto:)[^\" \n\t]*[^]\"., \n\t>)]
# a bit more forgiving would be this:
#REGEXP ((((ht|f)tp)|mailto):(//)?[^ >"\t]*|www\.[-a-z0-9.]+)[^ .,;\t>">]
# command to invoke for selected URL
COMMAND ~/bin/view '%s'
with ~/bin/view is:
#!/bin/sh
# $Id: view,v 1.1 1997/05/20 13:12:28 sec Exp sec $
#
all="$1"
set -- `echo $1| sed 's/:/ /'`

In 1968 it took the computing-Power of 2 C-64 to fly a rocket to the moon.
Now, 1997 it takes the Power of a Pentium 133 to run Microsoft Windows 95.
Something must have gone wrong.
