Loading a Web Page
nweb allows you to enter a shorter version of a Web address if the protocol is http://. An example would be http://www.google.com (or www.google.com) can be entered just as google.com (you can drop the www as well). However, you must enter other protocols, such as https:// (HyperText Transfer Protocol - Secure), the protocol for access to secure Web servers.
