Got a hunch on OS4.1 final update release?

Now THIS is what we needed! Well done!

It's pretty invisible to the system, and can be used in a variety of ways. From a shell, you could simply do:

"type URL:http://codebench.co.uk"

and the page will load into the configured browser, or from a programming point of view you can:

IDOS->Open( "URL:http://codebench.co.uk", MODE_NEWFILE );

And the page will open again with the settings you put into Prefs/URL.

As a bonus, you don't even need to close this filehandle, as that is done automatically when you close the browser.

You can also do:

IDOS->Open("URL:mailto:me@home.com", MODE_NEWFILE );

or

IDOS->Open("URL:https://mybank.com", MODE_NEWFILE );

It's all very easy really. There is even a URLOpen command in C: if you need to use it from a script.

that means my work on FTPMount is almost useless then now... Unless I misunderstood what URL handler is capable of.
