(:  I'll remember it though.  Sounds like a name an Egyptian Pharaoh
may have had.  I'd keep it in mind for another program one day Anton.

That's a good idea, and it works fine with me as far as I can tell. 
One problem though is it still doesn't cater for the Reb-path, so to
speak.  At the Desktop level, your...

    http://www.lexicon.net/anton/rebol/gui/

 could be described as this...

    REBOL.com/sites/anton/gui/

and it'd be good if the Desktop could handle that.  (It'd have to
drill down a page at a time to get there so it could find the real
URLs of course, but there'd be no need for it to waste time
displaying each page as it passed by.)  A new protocol perhaps?
Maybe...

    reb://REBOL.com/sites/anton/gui/

Any other suggestions for how it could be handled?
