I'm sorry, Ross. I should have sent a complete test script.
OK, here it is, both ways: with
\urldef\pricedistURL\url{http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/ 
notionportf/pricedistrib.csv}
and without. Same problem either way.
(But \url{\pricedistURL} does not work for me.)

Again the two-line 5.0in-outputs point to
    http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/
when the cursor is over the text of the fist line, but point to
   http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/pricedistrib.csv
when the cursor is just past the text of the first line
or over the text of the second line.

Here is a complete LaTeX test script.

%%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{article}

% we have to change the font encoding for Lucida.

% use Lucida fonts for both text and math.
\usepackage[altbullet]{lucidabr}     % get larger bullet
