When cutting and pasting, browsers sometimes try to "fix" URLs, whereas BibDesk is passing the URL directly. In this case, the "incorrect" bottom URL substitutes a %20, which is a space, for a %3C, which is a left-angle bracket (<). If it's just this one record, I'd re-paste the JSTOR permanent URL and see if that works. -AHM ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
