NAME
       gnome-moz-remote - remote control of browsers.

SYNOPSIS
       gnome-moz-remote  [   --remote  [=CMD]  ]  [  --raise  ] [
       --noraise  ] [  --newwin  ] [  --local  ] [  --version  -V
       ]


DESCRIPTION
       gnome-moz-remote  open  a  URL  in the current browser, or
       start a new copy of a browser, pointing at the given page.

OPTIONS
       --remote=CMD
              Execute a command inside Netscape.

       --raise
              Raise the Netscape window after commands.

       --noraise
              Don't raise the Netscape window.

       --newwin
              Show the given URL in a new window

       --local
              Copy of netscape must be local

       --version
              Display version

CONFIGURATION
       Without a configuration file, gnome-moz-remote will assume
       it should use either Netscape or Mozilla.  When starting a
       new web browser, it will try to find a mozilla binary.  If
       it finds one, it will use  it.   If  not,  it  will  start
       netscape instead.

       If  you  want  to start a different browser instead of the
       default, create  a  file  named  ~/.gnome/gnome-moz-remote
       with the following contents:

              [Mozilla]
              filename=netscape
              NEEDS_TERM=false
              NREMOTE=true

       If  the  web  browser  needs a terminal, set NEEDS_TERM to
       true.  If the web browser understands the Netscape  Remote
       Protocol,

            http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html

       set  NREMOTE  to true.  Otherwise, it should be false.  As
       of this writing, only Mozilla and  Netscape  support  this
       protocol,  although  it would be trivial to add support to
       other Open Source browsers.

       Note that if you set NREMOTE  to  false,  gnome-moz-remote
       will never try to contact a currently running browser, but
       will always start a new instance.
