I think they call it a socket adaptor or something) for Netscape6 that allows one to associate certain protocols with a particular action on ones computer: just what you've been looking for, according to:- [[[ The two on my personal to-do list are mid: and irc:. ]]] - http://www.w3.org/Addressing/schemes More information about Protozilla is available from [1] which I have pointed out numerous times before after being introduced to it by Aaron (who will almost certainly have sent a similar letter to this by the time I'm through writing). Downloads [2] and examples [3] are also available. Protozilla also carries with it certain disadvantages: it makes it way too easy for people to start using URI schemes as redirects, e.g. myscheme:ABC could be used to reference http://www.example.org/example/ABC - I can see some of the Wiki people starting to use wiki: already :-) [1] http://protozilla.mozdev.org/ [2] http://protozilla.mozdev.org/download.html [3] http://protozilla.mozdev.org/examples.html -- Kindest Regards, Sean B.
