newbie problem with url's and newlines

[Larissa Naber]

Hi!

Being a newbie on context use I ran into the following problems:

1) I want to include a WWW-link in a pdf file. I used 
   \useURL[aua][http://www.aua.at/]  and \from[aua] which resulted 
   in a link named http://www.aua.at/ - so far so good, but I would 
   like it to spell out "Austrian Airlines"  so I tried 
   \useURL[aua][http://www.aua.at/][Austrian Airlines] which didn't 
   change anything and
   \useURL[aua][Austrian Airlines][http://www.aua.at/] which resulted 
   in Netscape complaining that the relative url  
   "Austrian Airlineshttp://www.aua.at/"  was invalid.
   How do I go about it? Or is it impossible?

2) I must confess that I'm unable to produce a newline on request.
   I tried \newline and \line (as in analogon to \page and \column) 
   but it didn't work. (I am using the s-pre-01 presentation layout)

Thanks for your help in advance!

Something like the following will do in the preamble

\useURL
  [aua]
  [http://www.aua.at/]
  []
  [\underbar{Austrian Airlines}]

Then \from[aua] in the body. I don't have the Dutch manual, so I can't tell you why there is an extra [] in there. The \underbar{} is of course optional.

\crlf does the trick (carriage-return/line-feed pair)
