OK, I got it to work in graphics mode - I am writing this with it !

It works just fine for me.

Ah ! I can't explain why that doesn't work for you, because it works for me.

Yes.

Press "g" to get the goto (URL) line.
Then type in: d:\somedir\subdir\filename.htm <enter>

and it will be displayed.

You can also get Links to navigate by typing in: e:\ <enter>
or: . <enter> for current directory.
