+
+;;; Commentary:
+;;
+;; This package provides a simple method of inserting an URL based on the
+;; text at point in the current buffer.  This is part of an on-going
+;; effort to increase the information I provide people while reducing the
+;; ammount of typing I need to do (see also handyurl.el which is available
+;; from <URL:http://www.hagbard.demon.co.uk/archives/handyurl.el>), no-doubt
+;; there are undiscovered Emacs packages out there that do all of this and
+;; do it better, feel free to point me to them, in the mean time I'm having
+;; fun playing with Emacs Lisp.
+;;
+;; The URLs are stored in an external file as a list of either cons cells,
+;; or lists. A cons cell entry looks like this:
+;;
+;;    (<Lookup> . <URL>)
+;;
+;; where <Lookup> is a string that acts as the keyword lookup and <URL> is
+;; the URL associated with it. An example might be:
+;;
+;;    ("GNU" . "http://www.gnu.org/")
+;;
+;; A list entry looks like:
+;;
+;;    (<Lookup> <URL> <Comment>)
+;;
+;; where <Lookup> and <URL> are the same as with the cons cell and <Comment>
+;; is any text you like that describes the URL. This description will be
+;; used when presenting a list of URLS using `quickurl-list'. An example
+;; might be:
+;;
+;;    ("FSF" "http://www.fsf.org/" "The Free Software Foundation")
+;;
+;; Given the above, your quickurl file might look like:
+;;
+;; (("GNU"    . "http://www.gnu.org/")
+;;  ("FSF"      "http://www.fsf.org/" "The Free Software Foundation")
+;;  ("emacs"  . "http://www.emacs.org/")
+;;  ("hagbard"  "http://www.hagbard.demon.co.uk" "Hagbard's World"))
+;;
+;; In case you're wondering about the mixture of cons cells and lists,
+;; quickurl started life using just the cons cells, there were no comments.
+;; URL comments are a later addition and so there is a mixture to keep
+;; backward compatibility with existing URL lists.
+;;
+;; The name and location of the file is up to you, the default name used by
+;; the `quickurl' is stored in `quickurl-url-file'.
+;;
+;; quickurl is always available from:
+;;
+;;   <URL:http://www.hagbard.demon.co.uk/archives/quickurl.el>
+;;   <URL:http://www.acemake.com/hagbard/archives/quickurl.el>
+
+;;; TODO:
+;;
+;; o The quickurl-browse-url* functions pretty much duplicate their non
+;;   browsing friends. It would feel better if a more generic solution could
+;;   be found.
+;;
+;; o Merge quickurl.el and handyurl.el to provide a fuller URL management
+;;   facility that would allow for the pulling, inserting and browsing of
+;;   URLs.
