OWB Commandline problem.

There's an issue with OWB regarding relative and absolute paths.

If I CD to a location, lets call it; "DATA:"
and in there is a file called; "names.html"

For it to work on a commandline with OWB I have to use two
different templates depending on whether the path is relative
or absolute, which of course is something rather unworkable.

EG: (remember that DATA: is CD here)

"APPDIR:OWB file:///DATA:names.html" works
"APPDIR:OWB file:///names.html" does NOT work

However, removing one / does this strange behaviour:

"APPDIR:OWB file://DATA:names.html" does NOT work
"APPDIR:OWB file://names.html" works now
( where it probably shouldn't )

We really need OWB to behave like the other browsers on
the commandline, where it will work with both absolute paths
and relative paths with exactly the same template, like;

file:///names.html
file:///DATA:names.html

(with or without the optional 'localhost' before at the last /)

Would you mind forwarding this report for me please,

OK. Will do soon.

Doesn't that be correct ? /// means root and // means current directory ? Or ?
