Re: Starting w3m: error

Meph,
Thanks for your fast answer.
I'm not sure whether we're talking about the same thing (sorry, if this is
for the fact that English's not my first language)

.... I want to *start* w3m with
$ cat /usr/doc/HTML/index.html | w3m -T text/html
and I get the error I told about in my last mail ...

typing:
w3m-en file:///usr/doc/HTML/index.html
loads the file without problems ...

typing:
w3m file:///usr/doc/HTML/index.html

gives me this error:
/usr/bin/w3m: params[${#params[ ]}]="$1": bad substitution
/usr/bin/w3m: ${params[ ]}: bad substitution

I'm simply not sure, whether w3m is a file that you can execute, whether
it has a bug or not, or whether w3m is a file that you can't load (because
is used only if you execute w3m-en or w3m-ja ...

Oh, sorry, I forgot that:
I'm using
w3m-0.1.11pre-7 on a kernel 2.2.14-5.0 (RedHat 6.2)

Wolfgang
