[arachne] Re: Browser Won't Start In Default Home Page

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Hi Bastiaan,
                        Please explain exactly what
you mean.  I f you are working on a page
and you ALT-E to shell and then return do
you want to go to "homepage" or do you
want to return to the page you were working
on.  I usually want to return to the page I
was working on.
    As far as I know, if Arachne is off line when
you first start it and you are connected via a 
modem, then Arachne loads the dialing page.
   How do you set the homepage ?
