Just encode all initial required '/' characters as %2F. In the example originally given, from CMU's anon ftp area, this would be <ftp:://some.thing.cmu.edu/%2Fusr%2Fanon/some/file/some/where>. I believe this should be acceptable to Mosaic as well as WWW browsers that support the draft RFC URL specification. @alex
