The following lines in MAIL.HTM will cause the "MY EDITOR" button to be auto-generated in REPLY.DGI so as to display the form for your email composer with the "MY EDITOR" button located to the right of all the other buttons at the bottom of the form: <TD ALIGN=CENTER> <FORM ACTION="file://reply.dgi"> <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="fn" VALUE="nullmail.tmp"> <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="to" VALUE="from"> <INPUT TYPE=IMAGE SRC="mail04.ikn" BORDER=0><BR><U>C</U>ompose mail </FORM> The "MY EDITOR" button is not its own thing enjoying its own independent existence, as would an image file of a button for example. The "MY EDITOR" button is created by HTML as a result of calls to HTML tags. In REPLY.DGI the calls are made like this: <TD> <FORM ACTION="file://extedit.dgi"> <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="fn" VALUE="MAIL.TMP"> <BUTTON><IMG SRC="file://small5.ikn" width=8 height=16> - MY Editor</BUTTON> </TD> I don't really understand exactly what you are trying to do, but I hope the above examples will help give you some clues about how you might go about adding a "MY EDITOR" button to whatever kind of form or other feature you are trying to create.
