Using the BBDB with Web Browsers
--------------------------------

   The BBDB/Web Browser integration is in two parts, one which is
automatically enabled, and one which must be manually enabled (Note:
Web Browser Prep).  The first feature added is the ability to display
the URL associated with a given record in a Web Browser.  The second is
the ability to add URLs to BBDB records from within W3, the Emacs Web
Browser.

   Pressing `W' in the `*BBDB*' buffer while the cursor is positioned
over a record with a `www' field will cause the first URL in the field
to be loaded in a Web Browser.  This functionality uses `browse-url' to
display URLs - see the documentation for `browse-url' for information on
selecting the browser to be used.

   If W3 is used, and if the BBDB/W3 functionality has been enabled as
described in Note: Web Browser Prep, pressing the `:' key will add
the URL currently being displayed in W3 to a user-specified BBDB record.
