Subject: format for comment in "bookmark.fav" list
There is no realistic means by which one can use a comment on the
same line as a given URL in BOOKMARK.FAV ... The greatest limitation
is that MANY URLs exceed 80 columns in length, thus leaving no room
for a comment that one could read from within Net-Tamer. To answer
the question, though, I've not discovered a method for commenting
individual URLs on the same line as the URL. Instead, I use plain
text labels on the line ABOVE the URL or above a group of URLs. When
I want to find a URL quickly, I use the F key to <F>ind a text string
that matches text in the label. Thus, I don't have to spend time
paging down the file to find the URL I want. Here is an example:
========================================================================
Local Dopler Radar images are indexed by a 3-character code. Here is
the key for each code where "xxxloc" represents a local radar site:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
sealoc = Seattle, Wa 074loc = Lexington, Ky rduloc = Raleigh, NC
houloc = Houston, Tx pdxloc = Portland, Or mialoc = Miami, Fl
atlloc = Atlanta, Ga 057loc = Des Moines, Ia laxloc = Los Angeles, Ca
sfoloc = SanFrancisco 121loc = New Orleans, La ordloc = Chicago, Il
097loc = Little Rock 109loc = Montgomery, Al 060loc = Columbus, Oh
bnaloc = Nashville Tn 022loc = Newport, Or. 116loc = Panama City, Fl.
mcoloc = Orlando, Fl 111loc = Charleston, SC 088loc = Richmond, Va.
lgaloc = New York, NY dcaloc = Washington, DC 002loc = Spokane, Wa.

Of course, one must be careful to select a line with a URL on it, and
not a line containing text descriptions. That's not too tough.
