Literal addresses in URLs - 'splain to me

[bound@ZK3.DEC.COM]

Bertrand,

Good response that is what I was looking to hear.  As an engineer I need
to hear things like this as I shut off all user interfaces when I am at
work except for what UNIX gives me naturally and Netscape of course.

I agree teaching them to put that in the URL box is much easier.

OK I agree with Brian Carpenter now.  

Sorry I did not take it at face value... Bertrand has changed my mind.

p.s. As a side comment seems like FTP may beccome deprecated in the
user world too?
