/media/lad/p24. Typing the command

   a backslash is put befor "$" and the line looks like:
            ls \$ML/p24/

Description:
   If a URL on the command line or in a file contains an umlaut as in
        https://dict.leo.org/franz*ö*sisch-deutsch
        the shell stops recognising the URL after the umlaut "ö". Only 
the part
   "https://dict.leo.org/franz*ö*"; is underlined and used in a call 
to a browser.**


Repeat-By:
    Put the above URL on the command line.
        1.   Hover over the ULR. Only the left part is underlined.
        2.   Press and hold CTRL, then left-click the URL: the URL is 
opened in a browser,

          but only the left part appears in the address field.
