External text code

Hey everyone
I have an externaly loaded text file with links inside it. I am running into two problems when trying to link to other pages.
First: I need to link to this page

 [http://www.rapidevents.net/modules.php?name=NukeWrap&page=http://www.kevphoto.com/&height=1000&width=90%](http://www.rapidevents.net/modules.php?name=NukeWrap&page=http://www.kevphoto.com/&height=1000&width=90%) 

But for some reason the text file will not understand the link. I think its because of the “&” symbls. If that is the problem is there a way around it.
Second: I need to load a pop up window from one of the links. But this code just wont work

.&img0=http://www.rapidevents.net/folder/images/kevphoto.jpg&news0=Kevin Eilbeck Photography<br><font color='#990000'><a href='"[http://www.glorydaysvideo.com"onClick="return](http://www.glorydaysvideo.com/) popup(this, 'notes')">my popup' target='blank'><u>www.kevphoto.com</u></a></font>&dummy=0

Are exteranal text files that limited or am i not coding it right.
