Can we have:
1) Clickable web links, please? E.g., http://www.trumpet.com.au/ at

2) A back to home function by clicking on "FreeDOS help system (hhstndrd
1.0.8 en)".
3) A search function.
All very good ideas, but...
1) I implemented an experimental linkification of URLs, but the result
is not really satisfactory. Problem is that URLs are sometimes
multi-line or contain weird characters (like ":") or are followed by
unpredictable content. I think I will remove this feature and instead
add a provision in the language for content creators to be able to
define external URLs, so the thing would behave in a predictable way.
2) easy and certainly good to have - added.
3) definitely useful, but non-trivial to implement in an efficient way.
Full text search is something I plan to add to the DOS client anyway, so
I might reuse the same mechanism in the web UI for consistency. But as
said - non-trivial, planned "in the future".
