Well, as I said there are a lot of good ways of doing it. Yes, my way does
involve a lot of work. If I did it your way it would still involve a lot
of work. Either way I would have to write the equivalent of a batch file.
If I were to do it your way my *.ook or my *.eek file would be easier to
write, and it would be shorter, but then I would have to look for an
appropriate ikon and I would also have to edit WWWMAN.CFG in order to do
the job right. Doing a job right oftentimes does involve a lot of work
and painstaking attention to detail. I think either way of doing it
involves a lot of work, but no matter how I do it, it is fun and I can
learn a lot from it.
I could never learn very much at all by just doing Windows, and I could
never clean them well enough to see through them.
All the best,
Sam Heywood
