Thanks for this Chris.  My workaround right now is to do the following
in .org buffer:

#+LaTeX: \url{http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/lp.html}

This handles the URLs just as I'd want to.  (I do hate typing '#+LaTeX:'
though, but that's for me to deal with!)

I'm also using org here to make a beamer presentation, and in general it
works quite well.  I do find myself wishing to resort to latex commands
a lot though ... but still I do like the feel of org for presentations.



Best wishes, Stephen
