| Hi List!

I think you can tackle both issues by using a shared pool of shortcuts
located in a common directory (Maybe ~/.ethereal/history/?). UN*X flavors
know a "symbolic link", MS Windows knows a "shortcut". Are there any
OSes/filesystems for which Ethereal is built, where symlinks or shortcuts
are not available?
