Re: Linking to HTTPS

Dave, I misunderremembered. Ecco has a Net Location folder that seems to 
collect URLs. I think this folder had a command: http:# in it which 
collected all URLs. There is a Launch Internet menu item in the Manage 
Tools menu that is based on the value in the Net Location folder, so I 
think you could add https:# in that folder's auto assign rules

OK, I am so easily drawn astray . . .  I pulled out my original 
Internet.eco that NetManage bundled with Ecco. Opened it without 
eccoext. It would not launch an https URL. So I added https:# to auto 
assign rule in Net Location folder and Walla! It worked.

I think you can also put file paths in the Net Location folder and you 
can open a file by double clicking on the text of the item without using 
Tools, Launch Item.

But I would not run Ecco without eccoext. There are so many seemingly 
little things it does that make Ecco life sweeter. And you don't have to 
learn all of its powers to benefit. --Chris
