HTX communicates with Netscape by means of X resources, in essence looking for a window on your X display which was created by Netscape. If there is more than one of these, the first one will generally be used. If it cannot find such a window, HTX will start a new invocation of Netscape to create one.
One problem with this arrangement is that HTX may detect an invocation
of Netscape running on a different machine but displaying on the
same X display. In this case, attempts to communicate with it will
succeed, but the browser may not necessarily be able to access the
local files that HTX asks it to view (but
see §
). The best way around this
problem is to ensure that the browser to be used by HTX is started
first.
