Good Morning Peter:
The contents of the file you reference with the URL parameter:
hgt.customText=URL
can contain URL references to other files.
Place the two URLs on two lines in this first file. When it
is referenced, it will then fetch the two files. The URL lines
merely begin with the http:// prefix. You could load as many
files as you wish with this method. They can also chain themselves
with this method. Anytime a URL is encountered during the
custom track input, it will be fetched and included.
