You could use the interactive help protocol to broadcast link URLs. People can allocate screen space for the !Help window if they want, use Bubble Help / OS 5 Help etc., as they choose. It doesn't need any UI work in NetSurf at all then. Yes, you're limited to < ~252 chars by the Wimp message mechanism, but an ellipsis on the end of truncated URLs could be used and 252 chars is still a lot better than can be fitted in the NetSurf status bar, even with very wide windows. Seems to be a minimal effort compromise. -- TTFN, Andrew Hodgkinson Find some electronic music at: Rowing in Cambridge, UK? See: http://pond.org.uk/music.html http://nines.rowing.org.uk/
