Hmm, I thought that "skip forward" link referenced mergemaster, but it does not. Looks like that was a problem with the browser I'm using (mozilla instead of Netscape...). With Mozilla, that link doesn't do anything. Now that I try it with Netscape, it does work OK. So, looks like I was imagining some things.
