There should be a way to do it with some java script and a second browser window.
You should be able to write a java script that opens a second browser window and names it so that the primary window controls the second window. In the primary window, you would make a button that would capture the current url of the second window and then could write it to the clipboard or to a file where R:base could pick it up.

Obviously highlighting then copying & pasting is one option but I have been trying to think of a way to get R:Base to do the work via an EEP from a button - so far without any success. I thought that it might also be possible by adding each address to a particular favourites directory then creating a file from a listing of that directory to a file and importing but I haven't been able to get the address this way, only the name. I've also tried to find a way to obtain them from the registry but without success. Anybody got any other ideas? Thanks in advance & regards, Alastair. ---------------------------------- A D B Burr, St. Albans, UK. ---------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------
