INFO: Link View Does Not Prepend FTP:// to URLs

SUMMARY
When you invoke "View Links on WWW" from the Tools menu and type in a URL
without an explicit scheme or protocol, Link View assumes that the URL
should be accessed via HTTP://. For example, if you type in ftp.upenn.edu,
Link View assumes that you want to View Links on
http://ftp.upenn.edu,
instead of
ftp://ftp.upenn.edu.
MORE INFORMATION
This is by design. The "View Links on WWW" does not have all the richness
of the Internet Explorer address field in its ability to take incomplete
URLs and convert them into fully qualified URLs.
