Thanks for that. I didn't mention all the bits I had read and FAQ was one of those items. I believe we tried this but will check with the other leader when they get in. If not we will certainly make sure it is on top of the list.
FAQs is my friend <G>.
You mentioned ..
This is a tricky thing to fix, as many browsers will ignore these links
anyway; your best bet is to place the files somewhere the web server (or some web server) can see them, and then use http: links rather than file: links.
If these files are on the server then http will be able to see them? And launch correctly? Not sure I understand this but will look at it.
Thanks

- We have tried adding file:// to the accepted list, and this almost
works. It shows correctly as a link (as long as I %20 all the
spaces).
But the link doesn't do anything.
This is an FAQ; see:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ
and look for "Is it somehow possible to use a "file" URI-qualifier...".
