URL link -- newbie time

[Timothy Miller]

Oh dear, this isn't supposed to be difficult. Maybe I'll get used to 
the new documentation format. So far, it seems to have evolved from 
"terse" to "overwhelming."

All I want to do is put a clickable link in a field that will open a 
web browser and navigate to the URL specified in the link.

I.e., I might like to enter a link like 
http://www.nigerianmillions.com in a field. There might be text in 
the field, before and after the link. If I click on the link, I want 
my web browser to open and go to that web page.

I can't quite figure out how. It will be obvious *after* someone 
tells me. It never seems obvious *before* someone tells me.

I have several web browsers installed on my machine. Can I specify a 
browser with the link? Like, "Use any browser that happens to be 
open." or "If no browser is open, use Safari"? Otherwise, just "Use 
Safari; launch it first if necessary"?

Thanks,


Tim
