Hi Rod,
I may post an upgrade today, just have to make sure some hotkey over-lap
does not caused problems.
I have fixed the issues with Unicode and have added a line wrap for the
edit box.
I have eliminated some more tags from showing up but now have to fix
instant text viewing.
when files are saved names are being changed and have to do only that stuff
when loading a new page.
Now there is a hotkey that loads and views text, Alt-R and may get rid of
it for it makes too many hotkeys and messes up logic, such as remembering what
page is loaded and what is getting just a quick view of. Such as Breaking News
only posts a quick view of and keeping on the computer should be a choice and
not automatic; but have not added the alert yet.
I want to make the operator have few options so as not to be confused. I
have many options and they over-lap and can cause confusion.
But the options are working fine and just have to add some hotkeys for the
edit box to make it talk more than just read.
Add adjustment of line wrap length, word or phrase search and things like
that which can make it behave like a text editor.
The other future enhancements will be for video and such, but having the
Alt-G go to page option helps on that issue.
The view using the html file or Alt-W hotkey does allow you to use some
video/audio to work locally but that depends on how they have embedded the
stuff at the source end.
Thanks for the encouragement. It is getting better and better as i get rid
of the bugs in it. Soon I can reduce down some of the logic for I think I have
lots of duplicate operations in it.

Hi Bruce,
As I mentioned, good for you for taking on this project. Sounds pretty
amazingly complex for my little head, but that's okay. Not sure I can
find time to play with it. So much going on for us here. But I'm
really happy you're engaged and productive. It keeps the grass growing,
even in the winter in the Northern hemisphere. (big grin)
Keep on tapping,
Rod
