'shell://' thoughts

        Just a bit of a heads up.  Running IE on a macintosh running
os 9.04 does not allow protocal for shell://.  The problem seems to
be restricted to the windows platform.
        On the side of fixing it, I have also tried calling shell://
in netscape and it automaticly adds in the www and so tries to find a
www.shell:.com (specificly a www.shell:.com// ).  It would be
concevable that a simple patch adding a simmilar functionality to IE
would fix the problem.  Just a thought.
Enjoy,
