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?

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.
