I vote yes. It's a small price to pay for long-term stability, IMO. My preference for the new command would be ib, but I would be okay with another.

These have annoyed me for quite a while, and come to find they annoy others as well. As per our chat discussions, I made a change, but it's a UI change so should be described here. (Not everyone is on chat.) A fill out form with a textarea use to allocate a buffer for that area at browse time, looking like <buffer 7> It now waits to see if you're actually going to use it, since 90% of the time you don't. It begins life as <buffer ?> An itext (for input text) command allocates a buffer and changes it to <buffer 7> Then you can write text in buffer 7 and submit the form like before. It's one more step for something that is rarely done, but it prevents a ton of empty buffers from accumulating. I have no strong feelings about the actual command name. itext (input text) ibuf (input buffer) iw (input write) ita (input textarea) Long as it starts with i I'm ok. If you change line 760 in decorate.c the old behavior returns. I'm not documenting any of this until a majority thinks it's a good idea. My vote is yes but others may disagree. Karl Dahlke
