RE: Getting MapQuest from a green screen

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Does anyone know how to make it prettier than have the whole URL on the
screen?  Them thar URL's take up some serious real estate.

If you're not talking about terminals, and you're using Client Access
Express, and you can build the URL, I'll bet you can do it by using the hot
spots in CAE.  As an experiment, go to Preferences/Hot Spots on the Edit
menu and check "Execute URL".  Try typing in a complete URL--including the
http:// on your command line and double clicking on it.  It should fire up
your browser.  I've never fooled with it much, but I think there are ways
to
make it prettier than the full text of the URL you'd need.
