Is there are sort of standard for programs to be able to access the Internet
automatically if all the appropriate software is loaded? For example, a
button in a program's help window could take the user to the publishers web
site, to find more information. Or a section that allowed comments about a
program to be entered, which were then emailed to the publisher. Is there any
sort of standard, or is it not possible at all?
