More input/thoughts - on another WIKI I use (which I am hoping to move to TWC) files are located on a server but have a URL. When I click on the links to these files from within the WIKI, i am given three choices - open, save, or cancel. The open option opens the file in a separate window ans uses the appropriate program for the file type/extension. Save option puts the file in any location to which I have access. Am I asking too much of TWC to do something similar? The files I wish to store and open and link to need to be uploaded to the server and are given a URL by the software. Should I be looking for a way to store the files that assigns a URL.
