WEB BROWSER

[JBERGER]

WHEN LISTING A SUBJECT IN WEB SEARCH WINDOW, EXPLORER LISTS
THAT PAGE CAN'T BE FOUND(HTTP401). HOWEVER, WHEN ADDRESS
IS TYPED ON THE ADDRESS LINE, BROWSER WILL GO TO THAT WEB
SITE.

EXAMPLE: SONY ON WEB SEARCH LINE PRODUCES PAGE CANNOT BE
FOUND. WHEREAS TYPING HTTP://WWW.SONY.COM ON ADDRESS LINE
WILL TAKE YOU TO THE SITE.
