Is there an easy way to add menu links ???

Using the builders section, I went ahead an added a new menu item for the main menu. Although this feature clearly prompts for a URL to be entered (see screenshot) it seems as though only links to local pages will work? The link as shown would work, but not as a full URL. Tried the ol' unix ../ to move up one directory by default but that didn't work either. Our D7 site is going to have several subdirectories though (standard option for large domains nowadays) and I'd like to be able to include a real link to any real html or php page within the system ... like I have displayed next to the URL link in the image. Is there any way at all to accomplish this easily? Step by step would be really helpful. Thanks.

Works for me.

When you specify a full url it must be written as a full url including the http://

So for example http://www.yahoo.com/

Geeeez, I've gotten so used to "http://" not being used in a lot of places anymore by default (including Google search) that I figured it would for sure be the same with the newest, hottest Dolphin release. Now I feel like an idiot because you're absolutely right ... tested just fine with FF, Chrome, and Opera once I added that. Thanks for pointing it out.
