Everyone's Menu Builder and Internet ...

[Jan Lindquist]

Hi -
We use Menubuilder 2.0 at the Fairfield Public Library with Netscape
accessing various URL sites without any problems. I don't understand why
Memorial Hall would be having difficulties unless it is inherent in using
the shortcut .url extension.
We set up the Menubuilder command line to open Netscape first and then
connect to the webpage, i.e. "c:\program files\netscape\program\netscape.exe

We are having a major problem with Everyone's Menu Builder (CARL) Version
2.0

Many of the online programs we run are web based, and require us to run the
program from an Internet shortcut. This will not work because Everyone's
Menu Builder will not return you to the menu after you close an application
run from an Internet shortcut (an Internet shortcut has a .url extension).
We are running Netscape 4.05 on Win 95 computers.  We've talked to CARL but
can't seem to get a satisfactory response (fix).  I find it hard to believe
that with the number of libraries running this program, and the need for
access to specific Internet URLs, that CARL doesn't have a solution.

If anybody out there has worked this out, with or without CARL, I would
really appreciate your help.
