Yes, maybe it's easier to do it without 3rd party components, because it's so
simple. Drop down a label, set the color to clBlue, and the style to
underlined. This can be done in the object inspector. Also set the cursor to
crHandPoint. In the OnClick event handler, add the following:
ShellExecute(Handle, "open", "http://members.xoom.com/demjen",
NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWDEFAULT);
or
   ShellExecute(Handle, "open", "mailto:demjen@usa.net",
NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWDEFAULT);

Maybe easier than installing a component.
