I want to set up foxden to open up two websites and either a text file
or a PDF file in a vertical layout. What script would I use to open
up a file or a PDF from my desktop to accomplish this.

Hi Paul,

Foxden can't currently read PDF files.

To open up two websites and a text file in columns, your config would be:

columns
http://google.com
http://yahoo.com
file:///home/graham/Desktop/my_file.txt
:columns

The easiest way to get the url for the text file is in Firefox, File
/ Open File, select the file you want, then copy the URL that it
displays from the address bar.

If you wanted the two websites in their own column on the left, and
the text file to have the whole right half, you would do:

columns
rows
http://google.com
http://yahoo.com
:rows
file:///home/graham/Desktop/my_file.txt
:columns

Cheers,
Graham
