A box appears with the url I typed as the title of the box.
(eg. http://www.yahoo.com)
Underneath the title, in the upper right hand corner is a
red circle with a white X in it, indicating that this is an
error message.
The message reads:
Cannot find the file "http://www.yahoo.com" [or one of its
components]. Make sure the path and filename are correct and
that all required libraries are available.

Then underneath that there is an "OK" button. Clicking on
that button will cause the error message box to disappear,
and the "RUN" box to reappear, with the URL I entered
highlited in that "RUN" box.

I used winfile to associate .htm and .html documents with
Netscape, but that doesn't help. Anyway, Netscape is already
associated with .htm and .html documents, as indicated in
the "file types" box, and also as evidenced by the fact that
double-clicking on those files will call Netscape to open
the files. Also, when I am using Webferretpro, it works with
Netscape.

I am pretty sure that the problem is that I don't have a
"URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol" entry in my "file types"
box. Why I don't have it, I don't know, and I don't know how
to add it. I guess I will eventually find out, as I read
some more of those computer books I have bought.

Holding the shift key doesn't make any difference on my
system. However, if I right click on a file without an
association, I do get an "open with" choice in the pop up
menu.

Thanks for all your suggestions.
