Hey, that's pretty cool!  (I'm not using squirm but I can imagine how it
works from your description.)  What happens if you do this?--

   regexi http://\^([0-9]*)/$ http://jadzia.bu.edu/~mattdm/cgi/lugredir2.cgi?\1

   #!/bin/sh
   echo -ne "Location: http://www.lugnet.com/quickset/ql.cgi?&q=$1\n\n"

and type in, say,

   ^7121

I'm using the squirm redirector together with squid to block banner ads. Netscape Navigator for Unix tries to load any URL which you paste into the browser window. So, select a URL, then middle-click on your browser window, and poof, you're there. (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
