Bob,
I religiously tried to follow your plan, but it failed to work in 1.69.
As before, Arachne insisted on putting a PORT call in place of anything
of value.
I modified the line in Arachne.cfg
I wrote the called batch file & put in Arachne main directory.
�4
Arachne decided that when I hit F-4 the following was the proper way to
behave:
edit://:80T:\ARACHNE\HOTLIST.HTM
I hoped maybe it would work if the batch file were in /system/dgi
... so I put a copy there. The results were the same failure.
I don't know about *your* setup, but on my system I don't have to access
a server via port 80 to run a batch file that sits in main directory.
SO....
Just want to see if I understand correctly ...

1. I need to write a batch file which is called by Arachne from main
arachne directory? Or should it be in DGI?
2. Arachne will then CALL the batch file and pass 5?? variables to it?
I'm used to only having to pass 1 variable [file name].
3. Are push/pop really necessary? I never did understand them, even
back in the days of BASIC ...

No matter what I do, Arachne keeps putting port 80 into the line and not
even getting close to editing. :< If I comment out Editor line F-4
works fine to call internal editor.
Michael, any & all -- Could this be because I'm on cable modem with
READY connect, rather than "dial in" module??? I don't see why but I
don't understand the error either.
l.d.
