/*
 External application support.
 This feature allows lynx to pass a given URL to an external program.
 It was written for three reasons.
 1) To overcome the deficiency	of Lynx_386 not supporting ftp and news.
    External programs can be used instead by passing the URL.

 2) To allow for background transfers in multitasking systems.
    I use wget for http and ftp transfers via the external command.

 3) To allow for new URLs to be used through lynx.
    URLs can be made up such as mymail: to spawn desired applications
    via the external command.

 See lynx.cfg for other info.
