It does; and my interest is to have a menu of frequently used files and
links ... on a Web server.

I don't understand. A URI is acceptable in the URI window after being
typed or pasted there. Why would it be unacceptable in the display buffer?
Both locations are on the local machine.
As I understand, access to a file is determined by checking the identity
of a requester against permissions on the file. The location from which
the requester retrieved the name, shouldn't be relevant.
This mechanism works as I want in Native Oberon. Isn't the failure in
Iceweasel just a failure in design or implementation?
Thanks, ... Peter E.
