      I am trying to display a local help file with a generated command. The first command line that I created:
      opera file:///home/rozen/page-dev/docs/html/index.html
      which worked fine except that I would like it to open in a new window.

      Looking at the man page, I tried the following command:
      opera --remote 'openURL(file:///home/rozen/page-dev/docs/html/index.html,new-window)'
      which produced the message: This site can’t be reached
      The content of the address window was:
      openurl%28file///home/rozen/page-dev/docs/html/index.html,new-window)
      I am very new to Opera and would appreciate any suggestions.
