ReadPlease allows you to launch any Internet links (URLs, uniform resource locators) as well as other files on your computer.  
 
For example if you type in:

ReadPlease will automatically become a hyperlink to that website. Note the color of these links is set in Tools|Options Appearance - General .  
 
Links to email addresses are also supported. To make a link to an email address, enter it as:  
 help@cnn.com  
 
These links will be displayed as shown..

When you click on an Internet address, it will launch your browser. Your email program will be launch with the To: filled out with the address that you clicked on.  
 
Links to other files  
ReadPlease also allows you to link to files on your computers. These could be other ReadPlease files (with extension .rpps or .txt) or any file such as a Microsoft Word document (extension .doc).  
 
To create a link to a file, just type in the file name like this:  
[Main.rpps] or [Letter2.doc]  
 
and if the file Main.rpps is in the same folder as the current file you are viewing, ReadPlease will launch that file. You can specify files with paths like this:  
  [C:\Readings\Main.rpps]  
but be aware if you are sharing files with others, they will need to have a folder called:  
   C:\Readings  
 
You may find many uses for ReadPlease's ability to linking of files. A very large text file for a book could easily be broken down into chapters, with a table of contents file linking to each chapter.
