on my kindle 2, a file like this will even follow http: links. but it won't follow file:// links, nor will it run javascript. (as far as i can tell, on both counts. i'd like to be shown wrong.)

ironically, if you do have an http:// link inside your .txt file, the html fetched from the remote site _can_ refer to file:// links on your kindle, and _can_ run javascript. (my goal was to run a short script-based page without the overhead of downloading the jquery.js library with every access. now it comes from the local filesystem instead.)
