Okay, besides, my not being able to count to three ;) FYI, the options that show up with <cmd-6> in a "Text" object are different from those that show up in a "Scrolling Text" object.

Yet when I tried this, and clicked on the link, I two prompts: Prompt: Open a browser to view this URL? (then clicked on Yes, with great hope and anticipation) Prompt: There are no WebBrowser applications registered (Darn, yet another potentially cool feature, that doesn't work and disappoints me, IMO we really should clean these things up, so kids have a better experience and don't get frustrated) Prompt: View Web Page as source (this worked, but of limited utility, well my mind is not yet capable of figuring out a utility yet). Thanks, Stephen
The internal web browser was removed, and the external web browser was not hooked up yet to that mechanism. On Mac and Windows the following should work nowadays:
ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: 'http://squeakland.org/'
but it does nothing on Linux IIRC.
If you are interested in this feature, please open a ticket.
