You are creating links. Just like hyperlinks on the Internet point
somewhere, links in your User Buffer have to point somewhere. In the
case of the User Buffer however, they must point to an action for a
given program, not to an Internet address.
If you are just populating the User Buffer with text and no links,
then you do not need to use the function parameters for the functions
I outlined.
I recommend reading the documentation for these functions and
searching through Default.jss for examples.
