By the way, IBM "fixed" info center so that you can no longer right click
on blue stuff and select "Copy Shortcut". They want to farm more email
addresses so they added the silly "Email this page". This way IBM can
collect the sending and receiving email address. This also allows them to
force you through their "flaming logos" at the start of Infocenter. If
you do select the "Email this page" it will provide the URL displayed
above. They replaced the useful copy shortcut with a mini window that
displays the contents of the paragraph immediately below the blue stuff.
Apparently they think that smaller font will indicate to you that they
provide help.

It is still possible to copy the URL to the Information Center page and
paste it into your own email instead of using IBM's 'E-mail this page'...
1) Right-click on the Infocenter page for which you want to copy the URL.
2) Click 'Properties'
3) On the Properties page, triple-click the URL in the middle of the panel
until it is entirely highlighted, then use Control-C to copy it to the
clipboard.
4) You can now use Shift-Insert or Control-V to paste this URL anywhere you
wish (like I just did below by following the above instructions):
