Oh sure, it figures I'd goof up on a hotlink explaining how to do hot links. Let's try again:

That's why I just type (or paste in) the URL text. I'v screwed it up myself, here, before.

I don't recall how Microsuck's Internet Explorer works, but with Netscape, it's no big deal to get to a link.

Just copy the URL off the page, paste it to the Location window, and press .

Mouse pointer at left end of URL, left click, run mouse pointer to end of URL, press , move mouse pointer to "Location" window, press , (edit if necessary), press

Anyone that has used Windows for more than a week should be able to do that without dicking around with HTML tags to make the link text hot.
This is something that actually works reliably with Windows. :-)

Arnie, let's both quit -- wouldn't you know I screwed up my post above, too.

Anyway, to repeat:

I don't recall how Microsuck's Internet Explorer works, but with Netscape, it's no big deal to get to a link from just a text URL. Just copy the URL off the page, paste it to the "Location" window, and press "Enter".

That is: Mouse pointer at left end of URL, left click, run mouse pointer to end of URL, press "Ctrl-C, move mouse pointer to "Location" window, press "Ctrl-V , (edit if necessary), press "Enter" Anyone that has used Windows for more than a week should be able to do that without dicking around with HTML tags to make the link text hot.
