Can you put a question mark at the end of a question?

This is especially difficult in the case of a browser. You can jump through
hoops to get this to happen, but it is rather baroque.

Okay, forget it. The manipulations of the Windows registry required to
accomplish this with IE on the fly, which is really always running in
Windows, makes this far too complex. And you cannot have distinct instances
of IE running -- at least, not in any reliable way, because IE is an
integral part of the Windows running environment.
Why not switch to Linux, where this sort of thing is much easier (easier,
not easy)? I ask this with the understanding that you would have to give up
testing with IE, which you will have to do anyway in order to accomplish
the original goal.
