Besides which, I think that people with a high degree of exposure to the web tend to look for the things that look like buttons or links. The near-universal sign for links on the web is underlining (and typically an alternate color). Looking at the repo.or.cz file lists, I see that none of the files is highlighted but the directories are. What am I to guess (either by intuition or by "figuring it out") except that there is some difference between clicking the two? I think we are failing a consistency test. -Peff
