Well, the biggest point I was trying to make seems to have been missed: paste in the page display area of Mozilla; you don't need to go anywhere near the address bar. That way, it Just Works; you don't need to hit enter or click Go or anything: just middle-click in the page and off it goes. Also, I'm using windowmaker, and my mozilla launcher accepts middle-clicking on it to launch "/usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin %s", so even if there's not already a mozilla window open, I can still get to that page with a single middle-click. (Curious: do gnome panel launchers accept middle-click actions yet? I'll have to look into it...) good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes." -E.W. Dijkstra
