Thanks, Bernie. I'll try this as soon as I am able.
If this is the solution, I hope Michael will include it standard
with future versions of Arachne ...

You must be kidding, Bernie ?!!!
You surely can't be telling me that adding a *few more bytes* to
a string is going to adversely affect the memory requirements
for Arachne ?!!!
I also don't understand what you mean about "useless (who
would have time to write it on the URL bar?)" - if I want or
need to go to such a URL, then obviously my typing skills
are not so poor that I am unable to type such a URL !
How else do I get to such a URL (change browsers?) ???
