WELL. Hmmm. Errr. Ah, yes, exactly what I had in mind. Uh, Yes! Kudos to
Scott for responding so quickly to my feature request! :-)
Okay, so why am I missing this in the documentation for the go command?
This feature is incredible. Think of the implications, everyone: we have
in our hands a tool that can replace Internet Explorer and Netscape
Navigator with a simpler, richer, more cross-platform, better solution.
Hyperbole aside, I'm going to put up some MetaCard "pages" (stacks) on my
web site, with some basic instructions on how to download the MetaCard
demo and use it as a browser to access those pages. I think it would be a
great demo to be able to link to some similar "pages" on someone else's
server. Any volunteers?
