``Similar to the way a host name is resolved to an IP address, the handle will be resolved into information the computer needs to know about the object. Only since the information is now about the object, the location of the object is just one of the bits of information that is important. The handle record will also tell the computer things like what kind of file the object it is, how often it will be updated and how the object is allowed to be used - whether there are any copyright or privacy protections. The record can also have any industry-specific information about the object, like a book's International Standard Book Number (ISBN) code.'' Sound familiar? Skip down to the picture of Kahn unless you want a lesson on what the Internet is. http://www.msnbc.com/news/492681.asp?cp1=1 Cheers. Jeff
