in $home/lib/plumbing add a line to plumb to winstart for the
following rule:

	type	is text
	data	matches '(https?|ftp|file|gopher|mailto|news|nntp|telnet|wais|prospero)://[a-zA-Z0-9_@\-]+([.:][a-zA-Z0-9_@\-]+)*/?[a-zA-Z0-9_?,%#~&/\-+=]+([:.][a-zA-Z0-9_?,%#~&/\-+=]+)*'
	plumb	to web
	plumb	start winstart $0

the script /rc/bin/winstart looks like this:

	#!/bin/rc
	echo -n $* > /mnt/term/dev/showfile

a better script would test existance of /dev/showfile first.
