Dear all (probably Wayne),

Since the version 1.41k, the macro method "open(path)" can as well be used with path being as well an url.
But for the method "File.openAsString(path)" path still can't be an url, thus would it please be possible to extend as well this method for url inputs?

Besides this I would just have a little comment about the example code found within the following link:
        http://wsr.imagej.net/macros/DialogDemo.txt
There can be found the following code:
        if (ramp==true) type = type + " ramp";
But given that "ramp" is already a boolean, to make the test "ramp==true" is quite redundant.
Knowing that this link should probably serve as teaching purposes, I would rather put this line in comments (or erase it) and use the "simpler version" one in the code:
        if (ramp) type = type + " ramp";
I really apologize in advance in the case this comment is kind of "too much" and I can really live if it is ignored.

My best regards to all,

Philippe
