Sounds nice and I'd like that too, but I can't see how it could be done. Telnet by its very nature is *text*.

Wait, I suppose it might be done in some fancy text terminal protocol - in fact clickable items already exist in some - but then we'd have to config AT to use that terminal prot specifically. One of the ansis? Dunno. Course the other side would need to do it too.

Unless there's a way to do a routine where word delimiters, spaces, are recognized? At that point the prg could do what it wanted with the string. Brian? Nex

Doesn't require anything fancy, just a parser to automatically scan the input for things that look like URLs. Highlight them and make them clickable. Clicking them launches a browser to actually display the page.

If someone wants to provide source code (c or C++) for a URL parser, I'd be glad to take a look and see what it would require to add to Absolute. You might want to start here:
