Sure, no problem.

URL - Universal Resource Locator
What is a URL?

A URL (Universal Resource Locator) is a general purpose internet addressing protocol, used in WWW(HTTP)service. It is of the
form:

<protocol>://<hostname.domain.name>/<directory or file names>/<more directory or file names>.<file extension>

One could say a URL is what a telephone number is to a telephone or a street address is to a house. Although Web site URLs are sometimes long and hard to read let alone remember, browsers like Netscape have a bookmark feature which gives you the opportunity to save the location (URL) of Web sites you want to return to.
The URL for this page is: http://www.dodgepowerwagon.com/wwwboard/messages/826.html

The URL for the Power Wagon Page is http://www.dodgepowerwagon.com/

And a URL for a picture of my truck would be http://www.dodgepowerwagon.com/pictures/aug972.jpg

Notice that the picture file, aug972.jpg, ends in .jpg which will show you a picture.

Something neat you can do with a URL. Lets say you wanted to see a list of all the files in a directory, like the pictures directory. Just backspace so all you have showing is http://www.dodgepowerwagon.com/pictures/ on systems that give you permission, you will be presented with an index of all the files in that directory, then you can click on anyone and look at it that way.
