I am having a problem introducing discretionary hyphens into URLs
using the latest ConTeXT and \useURL.
For example,
  [DigRes]
  [{http://www.arthist.net/Link\-ERes.html}]
  []
  [{http://www.arthist.net/LinkERes.html}]
does break the URL on the printed page as I need, but the link to
the target document is broken. (I get a
The requested URL /Link-ERes.html was not found on
this server
message.)
Any tips about what I am doing wrong will be much appreciated.

Perhaps I should elaborate and recast the problem. I am typesetting  
a text that includes a great number of URLs, which I have entered  
\useURL and \goto. Most of these URLs wrap nicely, but a there are  
a few which insist on running out into the margin. Now I thought I  
could handle this by introducing discretionary hyphens in the  
second field of \useURL because, so I thought, this field is a  
label and not the URL itself (which is in the fourth field).  
Plainly this is not working. So, if I cannot use discretionary  
hyphens {?), how do I get all the URLS to wrap properly?
Alan
A last try. I have discovered that the problem lies in my environment  
file: something in my specification of the output modes in my  
environment file is preventing the hyphenation of URLs using \useURL  
and \goto.

Regrettably, I have no idea what and my tests thus far have not  
identified the problem.  See the small sample file below. Any tips or  
suggestions will be much appreciated.
