Okay, here's how it works.
urlview looks in your home dir for a .urlview file. In this file, you
specify a regular expression for detecting URLs (looks like that part is
working) and a command to run when you select a URL. The command gets
the URL as the first argument.
So, sounds like the regular expression has been set up correctly but the
URL displayer program doesn't work. If you have a program set up
(urh_handler.sh is the default, but it's a shell script and you could
substitute your own), you can easily test it by just running
"url_handler.sh <any URL>" on the command line, and see what happens.
And go from there...
