Local file access is a hack-a-like to what I found worked in netscape,
mosaic, explorer... It still needs some work *sigh* I forgot to add the
part about root directories so I will put that part in someday soon.
Anyhow, it goes like this:
The localhost is optional, BUT the slash isn't so the following are equal:
file://localhost/d:/autoexec.bat
file:///d:/autoexec.bat
If you want to browse a directory, just make sure there is no trailing
slash (another oops on my part, but I really didn't do much custom work,
just porting).
file:///d:/dos
You can actually browse the root directory right now by using the foo
hack:
file:///d:/foo/..
I am sure there are other "tricks" to getting what you want. I am not
real used to lynx's guessing of what file it thought I wanted so if that
feature was real key for you then you might be a bit dissapointed at least
for now.
