It's a big enough advantage to matter to *me*. You don't seem to understand how I loath using a webbrowser as a general application interface. Webbrowsers are fine for displaying information, and simple interactive things. If you have a textarea tag in the page, and it is not a simple toy, then you are probably beter served with a real application. The downside is that webbrowsers are so prevalent, and follow a rough standard, that everyone thinks that is the best way to go to be cross-platform. And it stinks. -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
