Sure, it'll be a bit longwinded, though.

Most people on this list have access to a PC, are another machine 
(UnixBox) which already has Intrernet progs, else they wouldn't be 
on this list. I, for myself, use a PC. Somebody on this list recently 
suggested that a Browser under QDOS/SMSQ/E doesn't make 
much sqense, since the people already on this list wiould be better 
of using their native browser, rather than yours under QPC under 
Windows.

This is a sensible argument, but I don't agree with it, for one simple 
erason: I don't TRUST PC browsers (nor email programs). They are 
often full of security holes, and are much too large, and often do 
things behind my back which I don't know about.

This, hopefully, won't happen with a QL browser - but to be sure of 
that, I'd like the source code so that when something "interesting" 
happens, I could see for myself...
