This may hardy seem important, but when the browser does ot act in a predictible way.... it should be checked out. Last night at a friend's I was trying to access the Spellchecker Tour. That URL is wtv-guide:quickhelp?title=spelling. I'd mention who gave it me but I'm not sure they want that. Anyway.... I could not remember the URL but figured that if could find another quickhelp page.... I'd just substitute the word "spelling" as the title. But I could not find any Quickhelp pages.... (are they on Classics?) so I used one from the Remote Control/Home page tour and substituted the word spelling somewhere in the code. (unfortunately, I did not videotape the steps). What resulted was the same home page tour... but the status bar option bttons were gone and there were the words spelling tour?text=wtv-tutorial:/show Probably not a big deal, but the browser does have some odd quirks that often lead to interesting discoveries. So who knows.
