To help someone even more "stupid" ?

Being able to send a friend/granny/client an URL which causes the webpage 
scroll to and hilite the phrase/line you want them to read an talk about 
could be quite handy.  Not everyone knows (or wants to know!) how to use 
their webbrowser beyond clicking a link and scroll thru the result.

Heck, I could even emagine it being handy for myself as a way to "bookmark" 
stuff on certain webpages, even on pages I've stored locally.

Also, what makes you think that whomever wants to use such an URL needs to 
construct it himself ?    I could imagine a local page containing some JS 
could do it.  Also, plugins, other kinds of scripting (VBScript) and 
programs.  Just drop the URL and sought-for text into two input fields, 
press the button and copy the result.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
