I can't get this to work for pine. I want to write a shell script called
newnetscape that I tell pine to load that will load a new netscape,
however if this is my script:

#!/bin/sh
netscape -remote 'openURL ($1, new-window)'


then it tries to open $1 and not what is stored in the variable $1. The ()
is what changes this and I don't know why nor a way to force bash to treat
$1 as a variable even though it is in parathenis.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ben
