I'm thinking of tweaking the HECNET infoservice* on RHESUS, and figured it'd be nice if the nodes in the output of NCP SHOW KNOWN NODES were hyperlinks.

On Unix I would just replace all the "(" characters with an opening <a> + "(" tag and all the ")" with a closing </a> tag + ")" using sed.

What's the correct DCL way to do this?

TECO? :-)

<FS($(<a>$FS)$</a>)$;>

But I don't think just a <a> tag would be enough, would it? Wouldn't you want a href in there, and so on?
