fpsl file applies the layout, found set, sort order, etc., in the same window (whereas normally it opens a new window).
The first time any of the files are used, if the target file is not already open, all follow the startup process to completion but then, the.url files will execute the startup script and show records, etc. fpsl always ends with a found set of 0 records whereas, the.
