I have emacs set so that under X, when a link is selected, it loads up
galeon and the appropriate page. Wonderful!
For various reasons I am having to use a text only screen for mail and
news at present, and while this is fine, I would like to link to web
pages still.
Is it possible for emacs to recognise if it is operating under X or
not and if it is, to run galeon to follow a link, and if it is not to
use lynx?
Keith.

Great, Kai. Simple and effective. Your's truly, however, is waiting
for someone to integrate full graphical programme functions into the
frame buffer device without X. An example of this functionality is
the tool fbi (= frame buffer image). Please excuse me for straying off
topic.
