Thanks. Now implemented, and my trivial example is now ready for expansion to 
do something useful :)

I'm not certain I understand this bit. Are you saying that if the user enters 
a specific URL (http://www.kde.org/), the kio core will call stat() to find 
out if it is a directory (which it might be:) or a file (which it is, in this 
case)?
If it is a directory, then listDir(), else get()?
