1: What I meant was the ability to add JUST the "extension" (I guess
that's a fair description?), ie the .com or .fr, to each link --
but NOT the ENTIRE address. Just enough to give you a HINT (ie, .com
might be ambiguous)
of what COUNTRY it is from.
2: Ok, I switched to "advanced", as you directed me to, and note
NO DIFFERENCE in the way links are listed.
Even if there WERE a difference, it wouldn't be what I wanted -- JUST
the .com or .fr or .au, etc.
And, no, I do NOT want to \ into raw html, nor
do I want to hit =. I just thought that the ".fr", etc, might be
useful to LOTS of people, and "CHEAP" in number of characters used-up
on screen....
3. Obvously, not "important" -- just a nice-to-do-someday idea,
adding a bit of usefulness to display of a link. As option.
