mozilla, unlike emacs, is not an operating system. > Ok. And what about commandlines (for local servers ?) talking about command lines is a bit odd. 9p servers serve a tree of files. 9p doesn't have "command line arguments". you could make the elements of the path beyond the server root appear to be arguments. part of the difficulty here is you are trying to stuff different plan 9 concepts into a uri. command line arguments don't interact with 9p in plan 9. likewise, dial strings are outside 9p. putting them all together is uncharted territory. - erik
