You are right, but I noticed that leaving out localhost
does not matter, so file://localhost/. is equal to
file:///..

But it is interesting that file://localhost/d:/ works for you.
It doesn't for me (I need that dot), which should indicate a
difference between the win95 and the 386-version. Perhaps the
revision Wayne talked about (see below) didn't make it to the
win95 version.

Are you also able to use the link 'Up to' to reach the root
'from below' instead of giving the exact url?
