As for the long urls, there is a simple shortcut. Note the "sid=262" postion of
the url. Take that number and use the following format:
http://www.ldraw.org/article/xxx
Replace xxx with the number you noted above. This works for all the articles on
LDraw.org.

be found here:
http://www.ldraw.org/Topics
From there you can link out to the individual article lists.
