It appears that Internet Explorer (the way it's set up here, anyway) doesn't add the ".com". It does add the "/" which the URL syntax requires. I saw the addition of "/" and .com (as the most common TLD) documented as being part of Netscape 3 when I read a book once. ;) If Firefox does do this trick, the TLD used is probably compiled in, but you never know. Have a look for configuration files.	Graham L (2)

In your address bar enter "about:config". In the filter field enter "browser.fixup". It should reveal the relevant settings. I haven't tried any of them so googling each one would be a good idea before making any changes.	bmason (508)
