This is a really cool feature! Now we can download a HTML/abw/rtf/doc...
etc file straight into abiword and save it right back again.
This will save me tons of time and disk space. Are there any intrepid
gnome developers interested in adding hyperlink support though
gnome-vfs? Then abi could view it's own help files on gnome.
Will gnome-vfs handle ssh?
Cheers!
