  23. >: If I click a second URL, it spawns a second copy of a browser.  Would
  24. >: it be optional to invoke the new page on the existing browser?
  25. >:
  26. >Not currently -- that's how we wanted to do it in the first place, but that
  27. >would require knowing the API for every release of every browser on every
  28. >platform,
  29.  
  30. ...or simply getting users to write their own interfaces.
  31. All you need to do is write a simple program which either
  32. starts up a new browser with the given URL or directs the
  33. current browser to the given URL.
  34.  
  35. Then just call that program instead of the browser.  I
  36. did this for a hack of NN which I could trigger from
  37. XMosaic.
