Ahh... In the alphabetical list we're listed in all caps so Omni Hotels 
doesn't show up next to Omnium Worldwide, like you might think we 
would. -grin-

Sure. I was referring to the URLs for openings containing biscuit= 
settings (etc.) that someone else can't use (apparently) so you can't 
just send opening URLs to people nor can you set up a tinyurl.com (or 
similar) link directly into a job opening. (Apparently.)

I didn't try that before now. Yup, those URLs seem to point directly 
into positions no problem. I should have emailed the URL to myself 
before and then tinyurl'd that.

Thanks,
