[TriLUG] Recommend HTML Editor

[Vestal, Roy L.]

Or simply soft link netscape in the /usr/local/bin directory and it works
fine. Well at least for me using Netscape 7.0.

Oddly enough, I have crossover office installed and for gits and shiggles, I
linked IE 5.5 SP2 to /usr/local/bin/netscape and it worked too!

I installed bluefish (been meaning to try it anyway), and had the same
problems.  It looks like the default external command line is wrong.  
Strange that a product would ship with such an obvious bug.  Fortunately,
it's easy to fix.

Change the command line to read this:
	/usr/bin/netscape %s
or
	/usr/bin/mozilla %s

Make sure you use "netscape" and "mozilla," not "netscape-communicator" or
"mozilla-bin".  The first two are shell scripts which see if netscape or
mozilla are already running.  The latter are the actual binaries, and trying
to start those directly could cause problems / multiple instances / other
strangeness.
