I love dillo and use it as my default browser when using help pages in R. However, every time I invoke the help in R, dillo returns several messages clogging my R prompt...Is there any way to run dillo in 'silent' mode? thx, Jorge

You can lower the debug level. Search for DEBUG_LEVEL in the source and remove all occurences. That should remove a number of messages. If you know your way around you can try http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/www/dillo/patches/ and look at the various patches. Most of them silence dillo, but some serve different purposes. Also, they are against 0.7.2 (at least right now), so double check.

That's of course easier than my solution :-) And now I have to correct myself .... On Tue, Aug 12, 2003 at 01:00:40AM +0200, Andreas Schweitzer wrote:

That is of course "#define DEBUG_LEVEL" ONLY, not the ifdef's .... silly me ...
