Or Ctrl-V to paste it since I don't have a three-button mouse.

Trying this on the line which is HTMLed as
<LI><A HREF="http://www.dhmo.org/";>Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division</A>
gave me  http://www.dhmo.org/  just as you said it would.

It's funny but I would have thought it would give me the part
that was visible in the Hotlist, that is the "Dihydrogen Monoxide
Research Division". It just goes to show, doesn't it <G>
