That's because the two functions are implemented in different bits of
code. The URL clicking functions are implemented within the PMMail
codebase. The left click/hold then right click bit is done within the
IBM code in one of the system dlls. Once you have done the double
click, the OS/2 system code passes the mouse clicks on to the Southsoft
code and the opportunity to use this feature is lost.
