It is not only the go command that is affected by the url keyword: Any
container can be an url. The documentation for the go command does not
mention that you can supply any container as a stack, though. And an
example would not be too much.

Oh... don't go too fast! There is a big security whole you are opening.
I would not start stacks of an uncertain source if they can read and
modify any files, and on windows machines even the registry. They can
not reprogram my microprocessor ;) , but these stacks are trojan horses
that can do any damage they like. Propably a sandbox, that stops stacks
from executing certain commands, is on the FRL already ;-)))

How about simply allowing urls in the fileName property?
And how about a concept for relative urls: A stack with the fileName set
to an url (starting with "http://" or "file://" or whatever) can ommit
the server or path in any reference to any other url. So if a stack has
the url "http://www.metacard.com/demo/one.mc" it could have a button
"Next" with a script like:
go to stack url "http://two" --> http://www.metacard.com/demo/two
go to stack url "http://../two" --> http://www.metacard.com/two
go to stack url "http:///two" --> http://www.metacard.com/two
etc.
