You're right. Odd - works on Linux. Here's the output (it *should* also
work in Win32):
[ben exec]$ ./mozilla -help
[...]
Usage: ./mozilla-bin [ options ... ] [URL]
where options include:
-height <value> Set height of startup window to <value>.
-h or -help Print this message.
-installer Start with 4.x migration window.
-width <value> Set width of startup window to <value>.
-v or -version Print ./mozilla-bin version.
-CreateProfile <profile> Create and start with <profile>.
-P <profile> Start with <profile>.
-ProfileWizard Start with profile wizard.
-ProfileManager Start with profile manager.
-SelectProfile Start with profile selection dialog.
-splash Enable splash screen.
-compose <url> Start with messenger compose.
-edit <url> Start with editor.
-mail Start with mail.
-chrome <url> Start with browser.
-addressbook Start with the addressbook.
-chat Start with an IRC chat client
-jsconsole Start with Javascript Console
-news Start with news.
A very important option in Win32 is also "-console" - it shouws debug
output in a console window. Very helpful for bug hunting.

For me, it accesses <http://word>, which I consider being correct. Same
for another Mozilla tester. Does anybody else see this (Internet
Keywords being triggered for a single word, instead of http:)?

Yup. Good tip.

Netscape 6 and Mozilla use Netscape Netcenter's Internet Keywords.

Why not (given the above)? You still have the search button, and you can
enable it easily via the prefs panel.
