    One example of a step forward to useability is the ability to capitalize on lauching http:// links in messages with a simple keystroke directly at a bbs or within an offline reader. As a couple of others in the echo alluded to, there is room for designing new markup language distinct to fidonet that bbs systems and reader programs can understand.

    What you want with url's works on my terminal, it is part of the presentaionlayer of my terminal program. I see no way how e.g. a BBS could launch a webbrowser on my screen. If it could I would consider it a security
    hazard. Even if it could, it would be a feature of the BBS and not of Fidonet.
