Cellestia as a web browser

[Auscreely]

I set up a basic version today, an it works
first I started a new system, then I Added Planets representing web pages.
Aol.com, Goole.com, Windowsupdate.com, and of cours a big bloated Microsoft.com planit. then I added an info url that points to that web site, then all you do is log on, then click on the info buttons in celestia to get to that web site.

One note this not going to be an addon it will be a new celestia directory, withONLY the files it needs to run, mostly because I redid the sollersystem file in order to do this, in a second enstalation of celestia, but I may chang it to work as a second sollersystem enstesd of just a web browser if I see that noone wants to download the hole thing.

This sounds utterly crazy !! I love the idea of flying round the internet ! No more surfing for me....

How do we use this code ? .ssc file ?

Putting InfoURL "http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/station/assembly/ndxpage1.html" under ISS in the solarsys.ssc file worked great. I now can call up the assembly sequence of the ISS frominside Celestia. Now where can I found out about more of these undocumented features. How does Celestia know where the default weblinks are?
