> Could not get it to work in graphics mode.

Graphics mode works for me with this build. You have to use the "-mode" command the first time (and then maybe need to save Settings within the program?). For example:

links -mode 800x600x16m

Otherwise, it complains about not having a default mode. After you have a LINKS.CFG file, you only need to specify "-g":

links -g

Command-line help is also available:

links -?

Anyway, i do have a question. I want to use Links as a local .HTM-file viewer from my TUI shell, but it doesn't seem to want to use standard DOS file specification.

For example, Links produces an error message and does not load the file when i use something like the following:

links d:\somedir\afile.htm

But if the current directory is the one containing the .HTM file, then it works ok (LINKS.EXE directory is in the PATH):

links afile.htm

So, is there any way to get Links to read a local .HTM file that is specified with a path using standard DOS command-line nomenclature? Thanks.
