[Matthew Leingang]

Dear Sarah,

You can give local files or folders their own URLs by prepending the  
"file://" scheme declaration.  So a URL for my documents folder would  
be "file:///Users/matthew/Documents/" (on Mac OS X).  I don't know  
what it would be on Windows.

Something like this *should* be possible.

\href{file:///Users/matthew/Documents/}{my documents}

after including the hyperref package.  I tried this, but it didn't  
work. :-( (The link is clickable but nothing seems to happen.

I also tried the url package in addition to hyperref, and this did work:

\url{file:///Users/matthew/Documents/}

But then the URL appears on the page, which may not be what you want.

I'm sure others on the list can help further.

Yours,
Matthew Leingang
