Thanks for the link! - I've already found use for it on Grendel (the PII 500 here at the office).

Of course since 1994-5, this hasn't been a problem for users of the Mac OS. And as an added bonus, one can click on valid URLs of any type and in any app, that supports the built-in Apple Data Detectors technology, and automatically jump to that resource location. Just a note to the Mactropians out there.
