Or if you use VISTA, use this handy macro. I apologize for not
giving credit to the author, it was given to me by I think
John Kalinich who I think got it from someone else.
Change "V1R8" in the URL to whatever release you need. AS the comments
say, I used "left shift + double click left mouse" and it opens lookat
in my browser for the message. Very handy if you don't have QuickRef.
Sorry for the code wrap.
