Is this the correct URL for running Insphex in commit 8d0b6e6? It leads to a default guest session without Insphex. |

| Any of the query parameters (start, notecards, rooms) can be left off, with the expected change of function. For example, https://online.interlisp.org/demo?notecards=1 will automatically login as guest and start notecards - but not run any start script. | ||

| Example Demo mode URL: https://online.interlisp.org/demo?start=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FInterlisp%2Fonline%2Fraw%2Frefs%2Fheads%2Ffgh_museum-mode%2Fstart-scripts%2FSTART-INSPHEX.LCOM¬ecards=1. This URL will automatically login as guest, wget and LOAD the file START-INSPHEX.LCOM from the Interlisp/Online repo on github and start Notecards. |

When visiting the example demo URL I get this error in Firefox and Chrome on Linux:
/demo?start=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FInterlisp%2Fonline%2Fraw%2Frefs%2Fheads%2Ffgh_museum-mode%2Fstart-scripts%2FSTART-INSPHEX.LCOM¬ecards=1 Not Found

Expected. The URL in the documentation points to production OIO But demo-mode is not yet running on production, only on the development OIO. To test the URL at this point, you will need to manually add the :8081. This should go away once we deploy demo-mode PR to production.

| Most demos will require Lisp (or other) files that are not included in the standard Online Medley image. One very handy function to be used in start scripts for these demos is ```(ShellWget URL OUTFILE)```. This function will download (using wget) the file specified by URL and store it in the versioned Online Medley file system under the name OUTFILE. OUTFILE can then be LOADed by the start script. | ||

| Below is the start script for a demo of Pamoroso's INSPHEX utility The start script defines and then runs a function called START-INSPHEX. The START-INPHEX function in turn uses ShellWget to download the source code to INSPHEX from Github, compiles it, loads the compiled file and then uses ADD.PROCESS to run the main HEXDUMP function. There is some additional complication in the call to ADD.PROCESS to ensure that packages are handled correctly. But most existing Interlisp demos will not need this complexity since they don't use packages. |

| Additionally, if a ```start=<encoded start-script URL>``` query parameter is included in the URL used to access OIO (outside of Demo mode), then the specified URL (decoded) will be prepopulated into the Advanced Options/Start URL field on the Run Medley page. | ||

Is the double colon :: intentional? The URLs don't seem to work.

@pamoroso No the double colons are a typo. Fixed.
…rl if wget is not present; ShellHttpGet now resides in the file library/ONLINEUTILS (rather than library/UNIXUTILS) and is loaded only into the Online Medley docker image and not the standard Medley loadups
