Hi Dick,

This works for me:

result: read [
    scheme: 'http
    host: "www.ellisislandrecords.org"
    path: "cgi-bin\"
    target:
"tif2gif.exe?T=\\192.168.4.229\images\T715-1352\T715-13520436.TIF&S=.5"
]

Actually the URL is not valid in terms of  RFC 2396  because:


Other characters are excluded because gateways and other transport
   agents are known to sometimes modify such characters, or they are
   used as delimiters.

   unwise      = "{" | "}" | "|" | "\" | "^" | "[" | "]" | "`"regards,Cyphre
