This depends entirely on how the creator(s) choose to handle command line options. On my system, firefox www.yahoo.com opens the URL correctly. Perhaps mozilla was running at the same time? To save startup time, they will pass of the request to each other rather than starting a new program. -- Stuart Jansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://buscaluz.org/ AIM:StuartMJansen> Who is John Galt?
