I have created, on the desktop, a .bat file with, per example, this text:

start "prog1" "C:\Program Files (x86)\SeaMonkey\seamonkey.exe" 
http://www.google.com

pause
start "prog2" "C:\Program Files (x86)\SeaMonkey\seamonkey.exe" -new-tab 
https://time.is/

exit

PAUSE is needed because if it is not present, only the second url 
appeared without the first one.

Looking at the Bookmarks Manager, it has an entry for "Tag:". If I 
place the 'sw' as a tag, then, when I enter the 'sw' in the Address 
Bar, will SM then select my bookmark and save me having to click on 
the entry in the drop-down list??


Or would that be a 'Keyword'?? Something else??

Hi Daniel,
What you're looking for is the keyword feature.
Try the instructions in the following article:

Perfect, Chris, thank you!

It seems almost unnatural to add the 'sw' to the keywords line of the 
drop-down and then just exit the Bookmarks Manager!! "Shouldn't I have 
to click 'save' somewhere??"  but, sure enough, it works ;-)


And good to see you are still here-abouts, too, Chris. :-)

President Trump still insists that Mexico will eventually pay for
his border wall.  If he really believes that, why does he not pay
for it out of his personal billions of dollars and then personally
collect from Mexico?
