Thanks for all the replies I will have to look into this memory business The reason I wanted R is to use a package (Rpnf)that plots point & figure charts like this http://tinyurl.com/yccgb2gm RPNF has the advantage that it allows log scaling and has a manual! http://rpnf.r-forge.r-project.org/ h...

Are these the settings?

pop mail server

smtp
relay.plus.net

Above the messages there is only one folder- Inbox. Presumably there should be 4?

Where are the Drafts and Sent folders in Sea Monkey?

I'm using wary 5.5 & seamonkey 2.6.1
I don't have the above folders
I "saved" a draft and it has "disappeared" - where is it?
I only seem to have an inbox
Surely seamonkey has drafts and sent folders?
Does anyone know how to find these missing folders?

Thanks for the interest
I do indeed have the /usr/etc/lynx.cfg file
I made the change to STARTFILE and lynx behaves as expected!

Well well, the line defaultbrowser https://tinyurl.com/yc9uwg6u worked!
Many thanks to all who took an interest
Changing the default browser from Sea monkey to Palemoon is a big improvement - image loads faster

Lynx doesn't display images, so isnt suitable
I'm using Palemoon

xdg-open will display a jpg file in a url but that is about all it does (and it goes into Seamonkey)
It wont display images like this https://tinyurl.com/yc9uwg6u

x-www-browser bash command doesnt work in puppy

Using this command in the console you can display a url in the current browser (firefox or google)

This works fine on ubuntu - the syntax i use in a bash script is
x-www-browser $url

On puppy however I get "# bash: x-www-browser: command not found"
I'm using Wary 5.3

Any suggestions?

how to find files on USB & HD in Wary?

I cant do this!
ROX doesnt seem to go outside the puppy world and cant see the usb or the rest of the HD
Clicking on the icons at the bottom of the screen doesnt yield any thing useful

I'm using Wary 5.3 on a cd and the save file on HD

How can I see all the files on the hd and the usb
