How does right clicking help? If you go to http://www.boost.org/libs/parameter/doc/html/index.html#portability-considerations and right click you can copy a link to http://www.boost.org/libs/parameter/doc/html/index.html#id45. > The alternative would be to go back to the table of contents > and grab the link there. That's what you have to do, neh? You click once to get to the TOC, then you right-click the link at the top of the page. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
