file:/// is the same thing as file://localhost/

It's construed of file:// as protocol and separating punctuation,
following be hostname and path e.g. localhost/ (which is root on this
machine).  Localhost can be omitted, and you'd see three slashes in a
row, and the software will presume it's presence where it ought to be.
Also, another hostname could be used, and so long as it was accessible,
it could be used, instead.

e.g. file://server/bookmarks.html

-- 
[tim at localhost ~]$ uname -r
2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
