Strange things.... I hadn't given up on it, yet, I was tinkering with the 
example to make it look more how I do things, so I could think more 
abstractedly about what might make it fail, instead of focussing on it, and it 
started working at 12:10 GMT or so today. Nothing I did could account for it, 
so I tried Andreas' original frame based example, and that worked too. So 
something external changed. I rebooted, and it still worked, so I think it 
wasn't a local or temporary change, but something at the ISP's end. NOTE: I use 
a registry lock and Ghost images to maintain a stable OS, so that reboot would 
have cleared any temporary condition. That it persisted in working means it 
really is an external change.

I also tried substituting Google's hostname last night, with an IP fetched by 
Tracert's DNS inquiry. That failed last night, with error code 6, protocol 
negotiation failure. Today it works, though instead of the small 'page moved' 
linkage currently fetched by reaching Google.com, it gets the full search page 
code from the UK site that Google.com links to. I also tried a file:// get last 
night which worked, partly why I was prepared to stick at it today...

So in short, I confirm that wxURL works properly on W98, though I haven't 
discovered what external conditions made it fail before. That all example work 
proves it isn't something I did, so it IS external, but that's all I know.

If I carry on with this, the main thing I need to know is how to set up wxLua 
as a simple local proxy so I can design a web filter. I'll sort the filter 
details in my own time, but if someone can help me with a minimal template for 
the connections part of that, please do. Now that I've seen something work, 
I'll give it the effort it deserves if someone can give me that core template 
for connecting wxLua as local proxy between a browser and the net.
