Hi Ray I hadn't run into the tkemc psudo-lockup yet but I can see where that would be a pain :) for the USB stick on a stand alone HMI I figure you'd just go thru the usual file open routine and maybe fiddle with where the drive mounts or the search path to get to it quicker its still a heck of allot easier to pull in a file than on most machines and I know nobody really wants to do 'yet another editor' when there are already billions of them around ,maybe a script that would bring up an outside editor with the current file already loaded would do the trick ,although I do like that automatic save/reload feature I prefer KDE to Gnome ,you can bring up Gedit or Kate in either one but you still need the taskbar to switch from EMC to the editor and as it stands now you have to open the same file twice ,with the opportunity to open one from the USB stick and the other from the hard drive or in Gedit make changes in the wrong tab ,I've done that a couple times (D'Oh! :) sometimes a simple limited editor is all that's needed Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
