I use a local .pac file for my proxy set up, and there's nothing special 
needed - you just put a file: URL in the box pointing to the file. For 
example, mine is set to the following:

file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/James/My%20Documents/CompSoc/Warwick.pac

That's all there is to it.

HTH.

You'd think with Largo's flair for 'incidents' that somebody would
