Never try to teach an "expert" his job. He will always have a good objection to your arguments. Of course if he is wrong, he will HATE you for it! > appear to have changed and the site is accessible by Arachne without any > manual editing of the source page. That just goes to show how Arachne has changed to meet that expert's requirements <G> > If a double ";" is not standard in a cookie, it should be easy to counter. > Just do a search and replace in a cookie for two ;'s and replace it with > one.

But it would mean shelling out to DOS, or at least calling the editor from an OOK *every* time to do this. The strange thing is that Lynx's cookie file doesn't have this problem. Is it something to do with the way Arachne saves the cookies? Greg -- Arachne V1.71;UE01, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
