Re: URLs and a private scheme type

I've noticed that various browsers use private URLs to invoke
particular functions, e.g., Netscape uses 'newsrc:' and 'about:', lynx
uses LYNXPRINT, LYNXDOWNLOAD, LYNXHIST, LYNXDIRED, lynxexec, newspost.

This is a `private' use that isn't restricted to a particular site.

For compuserve.com you could use 'file:' and just define what your
file system is.
