I use Forte Agent 2 as a usenet news reader. I normally initialise the program through a button which I have set up on a Panel. (kde 3, PCLinuxOS). The argument set for this button is WINEPREFIX="/home/stuart/Programs/Agent" wine /home/stuart/Programs/Agent/Agent.exe "z:\home\stuart\Programs\agent\Data\AGENT.INI" Until recently (probably the upgrade of Wine) I could open a url from a message with a right click and Launch URL. This has now stopped working. Following a suggestion I received earlier from the Forte Agent newsgroup I changed the Options - General Preferences - URL and MIME settings - URL types to use a batch file. The command is start z:\home\stuart\bin\agent-showhttp %1 and the agent-showhttp file reads #!/bin/sh firefox $* >/dev/null 2>&1 & If I open the Agent program from the button on the panel, as above, if I try to open a url with a right mouse click etc then nothing happens. If, however, I cd to \home\stuart\Programs\agent\ in a console and use wine agent.exe then try to open the url via a mouse click then I get a message fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000500 in the console, but the url opens fine in Firefox. Is this likely to be a problem associated with Wine, KDE, Agent or what ? Any advice gratefully received.
