Hi Jake;
Another fantastic piece of work for the Arachne list !
I tried your sideshow thingy and I can see that it might
work, but found the instructions garbled by multipath -
left brain right brain confusion.
Specific questions, asked without examining the HTML or
trying to grok the idea:
1) MUST the link to the search engine exist on the left page,
or can one use the manual entry method (which I tried) ?
2) How the heck do you add the harvested links to the right
page ? I understand that "A" will add ONE link to the hot-
list (invisibly-that's what the refresh is for), but ALL
the links from a "Q" run ?
3) How the heck do you stop Arachne from VISITING all the
links when you hit "Q" ?
4) Do you care that the act of "Qing" around kills the
history list ?
5) Now that I think of it, why don't you put the History
.Lst in the right side as the harvested links?
6) Why am I asking all these questions ?
