[Genome] custom tracks and URL

[Hiram Clawson]

Good Afternoon Dr. Bruce:

It is OK to use the entry box on the custom tracks if your custom track data
is not a massive amount of data.  If you have the ability to place a file
on a WEB server which you can then use as a URL, this is a bit more
convenient to access.  For example, this custom track data file:
	http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/wiggleExample.txt

Is available from that URL.  To upload that data, simply
place that URL line into the "Paste URLs or data:" area on
the "Add Custom Tracks" page.  Note, this example data is
for the Human genome assembly.
