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!

Yes, I can probably write a macro for one of my text editors to do that.
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?
