Hi !

Just some dislikes/strange behaviours i found in aweb until now
(besides that prob with the messed up pix):

When i (history)-go back a page (with the "<-" gadget) it takes an eternity
until the page appears on the screen again....for example get from
aminet a sizy recent-file (50k ;) then read some file-description....go back..
wait...wait...wait until this ridiculous 50k are back on the screen (from
my ram where it's buffered....)  (i have 030 and fastram...for what ?)

Then..i don't like the hotkeys....why not just cursor-keys for going back
instead of this stupid gadget or Amiga-B (or what it was)...why not 
Shift-cursor-down for a page down and some the like....

Also....i miss very very much an internal protocol for news:// and ftp://
and not that external shite there....ok..you might say "take a newsreader
or a ftp-client for this"..... but i very much like alynx where i can do
(most) things with one application also..means reading news over nntp,
gopher, ftp and (ofcourse) http-browsing. If he'd implement this 
protocols also Aweb would be perfect ;) (ok..nearly ;)
