custom protocols ( Re: How Else to Interact with Browser)

[Andre Garzia]

Derek,

that can be done now. My mac os x machine will treat any url such as  
x-dreamcard://www.somesite.com/stack.rev as belonging to the  
dreamcard player, it will load the stack there. This easy to do... I  
can give you some steps on how to set this up in case you need.

Andre
