   Here's the thing.  The F1 context-sensitive help is great and handy.. but it   
   has this in this order:   
      
   	S   Asks for a word or phrase...   
      
   	 Continues the search if in search mode.   
                 Searches for next URL if not in search mode.   
      
   ...so it would look like  is *only* a continuation of the S function.   
      
   I "get it" now.  behaves 2 different ways depending on whether the editor   
   *is* in search mode, or *not* in search mode.  But the way it is written above   
   it looks like  has to work with S.   
      
   I would write it as:   
      
   	 Searches for [1] user defined text *or* [2] an URL.   
   	      [1] If in search mode, searches for specific text.   
                 [2] If not in search mode, searches for an URL.   
      
   OR..   
      
   	 Continues the search if in search mode.   
      
   	      OR..   
      
                 Searches for next URL if not in search mode.

   Tried it.  Works well.

   The default is pretty good.

   Browser loads, albiet the default "explorer" loads the horrid MS IE. But easy   
   to change.  Thanks.

   Good sport!   I like your spirit.   
      
   I had a business trip to New York, Long Island many years ago.  The plan was   
   to be there for several days + a weekend.  I was there only 4 hours after   
   arrival, when I got a call from the head office that they needed me back on   
   the next flight, same day, for a project matter to be ready for Monday.   
      
   I *did* get 1st class limo treatment from the host company that felt sorry me,   
   and I got to fly back in 1st class (primarily because there was no other   
   choice).   But, I digress..
