| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td> |
| |
| <i>Web</i> opens each of the named <i>urls</i> in a new web browser window. |
| Any of the <i>urls</i> may be relative paths to files in the file system; |
| they will be translated into <tt><font size=+1>file://</font></tt> URLs before being passed |
| to the web browser. |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table> |
| |
| <i>Web</i> uses the web browser’s <tt><font size=+1>−remote</font></tt> option command-line option, |
| which requires an instance of the web browser to be already running. |
| The choice of browser is determined by the <tt><font size=+1>$BROWSER</font></tt> environment |
| variable, which should be the name of the executable for your |
| choice of web browser. The default is |
| <tt><font size=+1>firefox</font></tt>. Since the various browsers all use different syntaxes |
| in their <tt><font size=+1>−remote</font></tt> options, the executable name is inspected to |
| determine the type of browser. The supported browsers are Opera, |
| Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Firebird, and Mozilla. When possible, |
| <i>web</i> opens each URL in a new tab rather than a new window. |
| |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table> |
| |
| When run under Mac OS X, <tt><font size=+1>$BROWSER</font></tt> should be set to the string |
| <tt><font size=+1>safari</font></tt> or <tt><font size=+1>firefox</font></tt>. <i>Web</i> uses AppleScript to talk to the browser. |
| If <tt><font size=+1>$BROWSER</font></tt> is not set, <i>web</i> looks for Firefox in <tt><font size=+1>/Applications/Firefox.app</font></tt> |
| and uses it if found; otherwise it uses Safari. |
