What regexp are you talking about? > You could put /http://www.gnu.org/ in where, in what case? Sorry... the regular expression I am talking about is the one put onto file-name-handler-alist so that a URL will be recognized even if it has a leading '/' on it. So you could do: (find-file "http://www.gnu.org/") or (find-file "/http://www.gnu.org/") And they would both work. But I think the leading '/' is confusing. -bp -- Ceterum censeo vi esse delendam
