The 'hard coded' file name used to be 'textarea.txt' Thanks to Clarence suggestion...... it is now 'quickpad.txt'. (see changes.txt in your arachne_main_directory) <g> But now that you mention how usefull it would be to make it 'user configurable'. How about a new Arachne.cfg variable for the next version? EditorFilename [path]file-name-of-choice (if not found in Arachne.cfg. quickpad.txt would still be used) This would be just as easy a change to do as was Https2Http :))) -- Glenn http://arachne.cz/ http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.angelfire.com/id/glenndoom/download.htm http://www.thispagecannotbedisplayed.com/
