% This macro opens a bash shell from within slrn.

% I had the idea for when I visit groups like grc.news.latestversions where an
% update for something is announced.  I just hit my 'browse_url' key, 'U' by
% default, on the open article which usually provides a link to the updated
% software to download.  Once it's downloaded I run this macro to open a bash
% shell, change to the dir for source code, compile and install it all in one
% hit.  Once finished I just 'ctrl-d' to quit the shell and I'm returned to
% slrn.  I'm lazy so I figure I will be more likely to keep things up to date
% as I read them than going back and doing it later.
