You can always check the CVS logs:

pddplink.c

Oh wait, that's me! ;)  I tweaked it up a bit ago.  I looked into  
underline and changing color after visiting, but that would take  
substantial modifications.

I believe that Kzrysztof setup in the Tcl webserver for that.  I  
think URL associations would work better IMHO, (i.e. file:/// is  
associated to the browser of your choosing).  The Tcl webserver  
doesn't seem to be working at the moment.
