Gee it's nice to be back again!

My previous ISP stuffed up my account, and cut me off, then wouldn't
answer my snailmails. I saw them today -- they had been ringing me but
hanging up when they got the answering machine. What do they think I
have it there for.... duhhh!

Anyway they had decided that they had already spent more on the matter
than it was worth and have cleared my account. That suited me, as apart
from them "losing" a $1.01 credit at the beginning of June, the rest was
near enough. So I ended up ahead by about $7.50 plus whatever usage i
had in July.

But I made sure they gave me a bit of paper to say my account stood at
zero when it was finalised!

Now, a problem with Arachne:

Since I am now with another ISP, I needed to update my homepage. But each
time I try to edit the offline copy by pressing F4, Arachne dials out,
logs on to my new ISP, then connects me to my external editor.

A machine reboot seems to be the only way to get out of the editor, as
exiting it causes Arachne to switch me straight back in without a chance
to alt-H to hang up, or Alt-X to quit Arachne.

It seems that Arachne is not corrupted as comparing all the .EXE files
with a new set installed in an alternate subdirectory shows no
differences. The .CFG files don't seem to have anything different from
what I had previously, other than the things that needed to be changed
when going to a new ISP.

Please note that after commenting out the "Editor" line in ARACHNE.CFG,
pressing F4 brings up the internal editor and everything works just
fine. I can even press the "External Editor" button, and use the
external editor, and that is fine too. But I do realise that this gets
to the ext-editor by a different route.

I'm at a loss...
