Personal Bookmarks Work Around

Been getting the "Could not open file ""." alert with the nifty OmniWeb
0.9.1? Here's the work-around.
The defaults database might show something like
OmniWeb BookmarkPage file:~/Library/OmniWeb/Bookmarks.html
with the "dread -l" command.
If you do like our friends at Omni and abandon that "file:" anachronism,
say with the command:
dwrite OmniWeb BookmarkPage
ftp:/Users/brie/Library/OmniWeb/Bookmarks.html
(substituting of course for the path to your own Bookmarks page, please)
then your personal bookmarks page will be found. By the way, setting the
BookmarkPage to "ftp:~/Library/OmniWeb/Bookmarks.html" is a bad idea
because it really does try to ftp it.
I think bugs are a very creative ploy to make sure that users explore all
of the new parts of a program... not that OmniWeb needs bugs to assist its
exploration!

P.S. If anyone wants m68k thinned versions of OmniWeb, go check out
