RE: Help screen from WebPage

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

And you know what?  mailto:rob@dekko.com works also.
Yeah, just put
mailto:rob@dekko.com
on your screen, double click on it, and boom, your pc's favorite email
package loads up.  How cool!

Didn't someone say that you could hide this stuff under a button and it
would work also?  What I am thinking of is a screen with the following:

Enter cost selection:  ___  ?
And with some training they will know to double click on the question mark
for help.

Here is some sample DDS, of how easy the http and the mailto are:

That is so cool!  I just tried typing it into a source file and double
clicked and opened my browser just like you said!
Not that I doubted it, just had to see it work.  Opens up lots of
possibilities.

Jean,

All you have to do is display a URL on a screen.  When using CA emulation
the user can double click the URL (you can even set up the emulation to
display the URL as a button, so a single click will do) and the URL is
passed to the default browser.  On a terminal the URL is just wasted space
:-)
