What benefit is there in using URL:object ?

you can pass a stream object and read from that (i.e. a ramstream).

Object is the Super Type of any object in the program. Thus you can pass any object to it, rather than just strings. Whether it's a benefit or not, depends on what you need it for.

Ah, that's why there are some loader modules in Bmax. Loader can receive Stream object. I see.
