Maybe an addition to the *Help* examples would be advisable to make this
clear. e.g.

third-party/sounds http://sounds.red-bean.com/repos
third-party/skins http://skins.red-bean.com/repositories/skinproj

Note. Replace spaces in path/filenames with %20
third-party/quick%20graphs http://graphics.red-bean.com/repositories/fast%20graphics
