All browsers (that I know of) deal with _relative_ paths to file:///
links. It's declaring your starting page as G:\web\lego.html instead
of as file://localhost/G|/web/lego.html that's not possible in
Netscape, AFAIK. And that is a Good Thing, because they mean exactly
the same thing, yet one is an URL and the other isn't.

Yep, that's why Notepad asks "this file too large blah blah" :)

And because it's not suffering as much from bloatware syndrome. Yes, I
know calling Wordpad bloated leaves you without an adjective for Word,
but hell, I'll deal with that.
