WhippetTalk Great! One stop shopping. Thanks for compiling this information. 5 stars! Posted July 09, 2008

kab Thanks Glen. I can do it now - too bad the modules didn't just show the number on them and save me some work. Posted May 04, 2008

N376 kab, I do it by digging in the HTML source, which for me is quick, but for others I recommend that they create a Table of Contents and then click on the one you're after, and copy the URL. Delete the Table of Contents if you don't need it anymore. And that is the internal link for a specific module Posted May 02, 2008

kab Oh Master Squid, How do I make an internal link to a specific module? or a link to a specific module in someone else's lens? Posted May 02, 2008
