Watchful,

In the text that you see below, substitute a left angle-bracket "<" wherever you see a left-square-bracket "[", and substitute a right angle-bracket ">" whehre you see a right square-bracket "]"

Also, substitute the approach stuff in place of "www.xxx.com" and substitute the appropriate text in place of "name of the URL link"; the text that you substitute for "name of the URL link" will show up in your forum message as a typical blue, unerlined hyperlink.

Hope this helps

[a href="http://www.xxx.com"]name of the URL link[/a]

Hi Watchful. Mr. Yourdon is correct. You can use your browser's "view source" feature on any page with a hot-link for an example. See ya! <:)=
