Running CVS w3 

[Adding a little controversy to the raging message ID debate, you can
see what version of CVS I'm running by converting the unix epochal
time in mine --perl -e "print scalar localtime <string;>"

I don't often browse the web with w3, mostly let it work inside gnus
for me or on, local disk.  Today I tried connecting to several sites
and get this strange, but obiously intended to be humorous message.

        `HTTP/0.9 How I hate thee!'

According to *Messages* buffer the startup page is downloaded:

After pressing M-x w3:

  Downloading of `http://www.cs.indiana.edu/elisp/w3/docs.html' complete.
  Parsed  82% of 2632...
  Parsed 100% of 2632...done
  Drawing... |
  HTTP/0.9 How I hate thee!
  Drawing... done
  Quit

With a very lengthy pause between the `Drawing.. done' and pressing
`g'.  Pinging that address works and a traceroute to
`www.cs.indiana.edu' shows reasonable output.

That reminded me that I've never been able to find a command to load a
url from the emacs prompt.  Other than a local file that is.  There
doesn't seem to be an equivalent to `M-x w3-open-local' until you've
loaded the home page then use `C-o'.

Two items from C-h v load-path <RET>:
"/usr/local/w3/url/lisp" "/usr/local/w3/w3/lisp"

both accurate addresses.

So hiding all the *.elc files in both my cvs w3 and url
directories, enable debug on quit and let 'er rip...

And M-x w3....
