Thanks for all the info, Steve. I see now that indeed, a URL scheme won't help much. In any case, could I ask you one last favor, then, in the current version? We have changed things so that one can simply save a '.csl' file and then drag it into Papers. Could you thus change the text to:
Use the above button to save your .csl file to the 'Styles' subfolder within your Papers2 library folder. <a href="http://support.mekentosj.com/kb/pro-tips/pro-tip-adding-additional-citation-styles";>More info.</a> Note that I have also included a better URL for the link. Thanks again very much for the hard word, the CSL editor has turned into a very useful tool.
