Just a small correction: The phrase "dynamic linking" used in Andrew refers to run-time linking of code modules (sort of like amiga .libraries, but more automatic). I think what the apple has in mind is more like inserting hypertext-type references to other files, etc, into documents. Actually, Andrew can do this as well, but I don't know of any term for it. -Miles
