[Genome] link for custom track does not work

[Hiram Clawson]

Good Morning Diana:

The reason the browser opens to the entire chr21 is because
you have the line:
browser position chr21

at the top of your data file.  This position specification
overrides the position specification you have in your URL.

Either eliminate this data line from your file, or set it
to be the position you want this data to start out on in
the browser.
