Well, yes, but the original poster wanted to be able to view long URLs before clicking, and that's currently the simplest way. Another way is to view source, but that's not so nice. > Shift-Select is OK. Well you still have to drag the icon to a filer window to save it or another application to view it straight away. It's exactly the same thing.

That's the way most Adjust (or Select / Ctrl) click functionality is on RISC OS. You won't find out about it until you read the documentation, experiment for yourself or get told about it by someone else. Shortcuts involving clicks aren't mentioned in menus. I've just noticed that the interactive help text for links doesn't mention Shift+Select or Shift+Adjust clicking, so I'll add it. Michael -- Michael Drake (tlsa) http://www.netsurf-browser.org/
