	Note, I redirected this to -chat.

	Try the following:

: adrian@lorax; cat ~/bin/netscape_r 
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# != 1 ]; then
  echo "netscape_r URL"
  exit 1;
fi
URL=$(echo $1 | sed -e 's/,/%2c/g')
exec /usr/local/bin/netscape -remote "openURL(${URL})"

	I set 'netstape_r' as my external browser in pine and it works just
fine.

	Adrian
