    3. I have used Netscape for a long time, and just accidentally found a feature I need to share with you all. If ever I knew about this little gizmo, I forgot I did, but I do recall long ago finding out I could get at the online url's listed in my address book, I just forgot how I did it. (old age and stage gene) So, if you happen to use Netscape, this is a Share Thing for you. If you open your bookmark file, using the EDIT Bookmarks selection, you will get a full screen view of all your bookmarks. (I must have a gazillion of them, but if the bookmark files are closed, it doesn't look so fearful long.) Anyhow, what I saw was this: Up on the top right are two little arrows, each pointing to opposite directions. (I've successfully ignored those a LONG time.) With that Edit Book selection open, click on the little black pointy arrow on the left. And, over on the left of your screen, pick the Box of Folders you want opened, where it has a little PLUS + signs showing. That opens the folders and shows the websites stored in in. You will then see not only the Name of the website, you will see the URL for it over on the right of the screen. To make the url address go away, just go back to the top and hit the opposite black arrow, and it shuts off that URL address feature. Leaving the one on the left +/- open or shut is just your choice, but if you shut it, and you have the little Left Arrow on, it will not show the url's for that website. Nothing would be hurt, whichever way you left it. This would be handy for trying to get a url cut, copy and paste, in order to insert a web address into an email, quicker, but only by eliminating one step, as I see it. It would let you select edit/copy off the web address from this bookmark site without first having to open up the website to get it. One less little move, and a tad faster. Enough of that, got stuff to do. bj TXVICTOR-L List Manager
