[Genome] Display UCSC tracks with custom tracks

[Carles Fenollosa]

Hi, Hiram

I've already generated some custom tracks, and I open the Genome  
Browser with an URL like this:

http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?org=human&position=chr21&hgt.customText=http://mmb.pcb.ub.es/ 
~carlesfe/tracks.txt

Then, in the Browser, I manually click on "UCSC Genes -> Dense", then  
refresh

What I'd like to do is to automatically show the UCSC Genes with my  
custom tracks, without needing the user doing anyting or clicking  
anywhere.

I've tried either with a new URL parameter (that's why I added  
"&knownGene=dense" at the end) or with some line on the custom tracks  
file.

Is that possible?

Thanks for your help! :)

Carles
