The ability to read data from local files is a nice, but it'd be even nicer to read data from servers.

for example -> a:=rfile("http://www.someurl.com"

I'm just suggesting this because i do some web/database design on couchdb and though the database can return a string of "mat(1,2,3,1,3)" it does me no good with smath. I have to have the database generate the text file for users to download and then have that file be read by smath, which is a little bit cumbersome.

Just a small suggestion,

Thanks for all the hard work, it's very much appreciated,
