(in current > discussion: terminus) Sign me up for link, pointer, and terminus. Motivation: a link is what people expect, fewer suprises are better. Pointer: I could be swayed on this one, but it's nicely mnemonic, a single word, and not already used by any of the existing hypertext tribes. Terminus: I like this one a lot, same reasons as pointer, plus both the denotation and connotations are good. -Tim
