URL's for KB articles

[Michael Winter]

A helpful list member posted the following URL to an Apple 
KnowledgeBase article :

> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106824&SaveKCWindowURL=
> http%3A%2F%2Fkbase.info.apple.com%2Fcgi-bin%2FWebObjects%2Fkbase.woa%2
> Fwa%2FSaveKCToHomePage&searchMode=Assisted&kbhost=kbase.info.apple.com
> &showButton=false&randomValue=100&showSurvey=

Since this is a "newbies" list, Apple's KB articles are a good and 
frequently used resource, and I know from past experience that some 
mail programs have trouble with multi-lined URLs, I just wanted to 
point out that these URL's can be shortened considerably. I didn't 
realize, until someone pointed it out to me, that everything after the 
article number is unnecessary. So the above URL can be shortened to < 
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106824> .

There's nothing wrong with the URL quoted, I just know it has made 
things a little easier for me both in following and providing links to 
KB articles to know how to shorten them.
