[R] Can browseURL open a lynx browser?

[Viechtbauer, Wolfgang (SP)]

Dear Ashim,

If you really want to use lynx, then you need to open up a new terminal to make this work. For example, this will do:

browseURL("http://www.r-project.org","xterm -e lynx")

But this will open up a new terminal for each call to browseURL().

Best,
Wolfgang
