Hi Glenn,

This popped up while I was surfing the web.  To check it out, I went offline, 
deleted all files (*.*) in the cache directory (on my RAM disk), went back 
online to my home page and hit <CTRL-RIGHT ARROW> and Hotlist popped up 
again.  Other than the items cached when loading the home page, and Hotlist 
was not one of them, there were no other items in the Cache.

Hotlist is at:

[system]
Hotlist I:\ARA171UE\HOTLIST.HTM

I can't seem to make sense of the History.lst any more.  At one time, sites 
visited were appended to the end of the list and when the history list was 
brought to the screen, it would appear in reverse order, with the most recent 
site visited listed first and then going back in succession.  Now, it appears 
that the last site visited can be located anywhere in the history list, 
whether it is viewed as HTML or is viewed as plain text.

Nope.... AFAIK, it's niether.
This is the first I've heard of it and I can't duplicate it.

Here's one way that I can think of that this might happen.

site name             position in history.lst

homepage                        1
go2somesite                     2
someplaceElse                   3
anotherPlace                    4
YetAnother                      5
hotlist                         6
'back' to YetAnother            5
onemorenewsite                  6 (hotlist is now 7)
andAnother                      7 (hotlist is now 8)
still1more                      8 (hotlist is now 9)
'back' to andAnother            7
'back' to onemorenewsite        6
'forward' to andAnother         7
'forward' to still1more         8
'forward' to hotlist            9
'forward' causes beep


Does that sound logical ???? ;-)
