Chris,

Thanks very much!  Another helpful idea.  One problem is noted below...

The only problem is the aggravating yahoo URLs that are very long--I just 
checked one that is 537 characters long.  So, far, with middle mouse button 
copying, I am not able to copy that from the one line display at the bottom 
of the screen.  (I suspect it can't be done.)
