Hi,
I'm quite new to context, but didn't find the following in the
documentation:
What is the context-way to include links to web URLs in a document?
I found something in the pdftex manual (\pdfannotlink ....\pdfendlink)
but when I use this it changes the document layout: the whole
page moves some centimeters to the right (I use one of the
presentation styles from pragma)
Also, is it possible to start external programs via a link (i.e.
an image viewer or something like this)?
Last question: Is there a (searchable) archive of this mailing-list?
TIA, Stefan Schnitter.

Never use those low level primitives directly. Actually, I don't even use
this particular one in the drivers but the more generalized \pdfannot, as I
let tex do the split in words.

Just say :
\useURL[someurl][..url...]
\goto {wherever you want to go} [url(someurl)] or even \goto {somewhere}
[url(...url...)]
I prefer the indirect method.
>Also, is it possible to start external programs via a link (i.e.

\defineprogram[identifier][call sequence]
\goto {launch me} [program(identifier)]
etc etc. Some examples can be found in 1998-001 up-to-date.

Matthew? [since you move, i suppose the archive is on the hold] Any ideas
on this?

The tetex mailing list and the bbdb-info mailing list have been using
the free service at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/
... and that seems to be going well.

Looks nice. How about old mails?

I have archives going back to September 1999, probably there are other
NTG-context archives, and the www.mail-archive.com FAQ says that it's
possible to add old messages to an archive by bouncing (redirecting,
not forwarding) the old messages to the archiving address.
They have a perl script that runs on UNIX-like systems to facilitate
the bounce-old-messages-to-the-archiving-address process.
