To remove an entry in Arachne's hotlist, use any text editor to take
out the whole offending line.
My own method is to use the Arachne Hotlist as a sort of notepad for
accumulating URLs (with despriptions). I then transfer those entries to
a fixed BOOKMARK.HTM file, written and edited by me, deleting the
harvested bookmarks behind me. My BOOKMARK.HTM is one of only a few permanent
entries left in HOTLIST.HTM. BOOKMARK.HTM has many more categories, and
a full index (with internal HTML links). I have so many bookmarks that
this is the only way to keep track of them all. I set up a link to my
BOOKMARK file from the Arachne desktop as well, and have hot-keyed it to
Shift+F6, so I can call it up at any time.
Works for me. :
Be happy to email an empty BOOKMARK.HTM file to anyone who wants to try it
this way. With "remarked" guide notes included.
Regards,
Ron
