Hmm, I'd never noticed the cut'n'paste issue until just now. Guess I 
rely much more on the LiveDocs version and the local HTML version (the 
latter is particularly nice in CFMX 6.1!).

That was what I didn't like in DWMX (6.x) because you had to keep 
clicking between tabs to get to things! To each their own I guess :)

Assigning keyboard shortcuts gets a lot easier in DWMX 2004 too, in my 
opinion.

Yes, I've started to use this and find it very convenient.

I haven't tried importing the DTD into the TLE but even the way DWMX 
2004 sniffs the tags in an XML file when you open it and then offers 
auto-completion drop-downs makes editing the XML files much easier. 
I'll have to try out that import trick... Thanx!
