18.7.InternetLocationFiles
An Internetlocation file (Figure 18-13
) is like a system-wide bookmark: When you
double-click one, your Web browser opens to that page, or your email program generates
an outgoing message to a predetermined addressee. You could put a folder full of
location files for favorite Websites into the Dock. Do the same with addresses to which
you frequently send email. There after, you save as tepevery time you want to jump to a
particular Web page or send email to a particula rperson—just choose the appropriate
name from the Dock folder's Stack. (It's fine to rename them, by the way.)
Figure 18-13. To create an Internetlocation file, drag a highlighted address from a
program like TextEdit to your desktop. Although Web and email addresses are the
most popular types, you can also create locationfiles for the addresses of
newsgroups (news://news.apple.com), FTP sites (ftp://ftp.apple.com), AppleShare
servers (afp://at/Engineering:IL5 3rd Floor), AppleTalk zones (at://IL5 2nd Floor),
and even Web pages stored on your Mac (file://MacintoshHD/Website
