Status: Fixed in development server
Date: 2/10/93 
Comments: 
Problems with telnet occur when something like: 
telnet://archie&archie.sura.net

is specified. The "&" seems to be the problem.
The page http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/DataSources/Yanoff.html
is full of such specifications.

With the file Gateway only access to local directories
works. Trying to get file://info.cern.ch/ doesn't work.

**  Clicking with the middle button on a link gives:
