I have not gone hamm yet because if the laptop pcmcia card services go west I'm in a bit of a pickle. I start w3 by simply doing: M-X w3 and it brings up the w3 documentation by default. I don't know how to get it to open an arbitery URL. The emacspeak shell script also loads emacs with options I do not understand, my question is if I add customizations to .emacs will they still take effect when I run emacspeak? Yes, your emacspeak customizations will take effect when you load emacspeak. Your '.emacs' is loaded after the emacspeak code. To set your startpage to something other than the w3 documentation, set the variable 'w3-default-homepage' to the desired url. See the 'info' pages on w3 for the meanings of customization variables. How do you tell you are on a hyperlink? hitting tab appears to read the url out which isn't what I want, I need to here the link name, at the moment I am cursoring through the line until I find the * chars and hitting return there. That one appears nowhere in the w3 info pages for w3. An early message in one of these lists refers to a variable named something like 'w3-echo-linkname". I recall trying this with unsatisfactory results, so, I removed the line. Anyone with a suggestion on this, please write. This feature seems to have been introduced into w3 version 4. -- Regards, Dave Hunt Amateur Radio: wx1g
