I got curious, went back to one of these web sites, and used the '\'
key to get the source of the offending home page. All you developers,
just have a look at this home-page source that causes lynx to give an
"unsupported URL scheme" message. Notice the links in the addr[] array
below. If nothing else, from now on I am going to get the source for a
page with unsupported URL scheme messages, and use the information
directly.
