Re: HTML files not open in MC

[Peter <bato_mainit@ispx.com.ph>]

I solved the problem. My ~/.mc/bindings was apparently an old version. Copying
/usr/share/mc/mc.ext to ~/.mc/bindings and making the necessary corrections
makes diilo and lynx pop-up in split seconds again.

# html
regex/\.([Hh]tml?|HTML?|stm?)$
        Open=if test -n "dillo" && test -n "$DISPLAY"; then (dillo
file://%d/%p &) >/dev/null 2>&1; else lynx %f 2>/dev/null || lynx -force_html
%f; fi        View=%view{ascii} lynx -dump -force_html %f
