You didn't provide any example of the syntax you used to create a "link to local file" in TW5, so it's not clear what you did, or why it didn't work the way you want. At present, TW5 external links are done by using standard HTML syntax, like this: <a href="path/to/filename.ext">text to click on</a> Under normal usage, this will open the linked file in the *current* window, replacing the loaded TW5 document. That is why pressing "back" reloads the TW5 document, but closing the window just, umm, closes the window. To get the behavior you want, you should write: <a href="path/to/filename.ext" target="_blank">text to click on</a> The "target" attribute tells HTML to open the requested URL (href) in a separate "blank" tab or window in your browser, rather than replacing the current document.
