I like the fact that Netscrape will assume the transport type "http", the host name "www" and the top-level domain of "com" for most URLs. It makes jumping to, say, IBM, as easy as typing "ibm", or Jose Cuervo's blender page as easy as typing "cuervo". (But I really prefer Porfidio Tequila ... and surprise, "porfidio" takes me to that fine spirit's home page!) I tried it with just "freebsd" ... and sure enough, there's a www.freebsd.com which is, luckily, the same thing as www.freebsd.org. The FreeBSD home page in all its glory appears! Best of all, it doesn't work with "linux". :-) Take care. --k
