One could concoct a special rule for Leo to use when parsing a URL whose 'netloc' field looks like this ... but I can well imagine Edward not liking that very much. Good guess :-) Heh heh. Actually, I think there is hope. I revisited this wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme which discusses two schemes for how a windows UNC filename can be referenced as a URI. It seems that file:////server/folder/filename.ext # four forward slashes should/can work. So I think my task ;-) is to improve/extend Leo's translation scheme so that this gets turned into os.startfile("\\server\folder\filename.ext") J^n For now I am going to create a button command so that after selecting the name of the path with the cursor, the button runs os.startfile() using that text. Let's see how useful that is. Sounds like a plan. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
