Huh, no. Look. When I'm writing message markup, I can use either
$NEXTLINK$ - so I get a text link saying something like "next
message" - or $NEXTBUTTON$ - to get a small button, that
presumably takes up less space. I like to use the button on the
top of the html page, where I want things clean, and the (text)
link at the bottom, where I want more detail.
You can check my design at
http://www.webcom.com/lalo/BroDar/lista/msg00000.html and see
what I mean.
So I would like to have a resource, probably named
$NEXTPGBUTTON$, that would resolve to a small button and no
text. Get it now?

That's not what I mean, again. I mean I would like my multiple
thread indexes to be named "thread01.html" "thread02.html" ...
instead of "thrd1.html"...
The <IDXFMAME> and <TIDXFNAME> only let me define the filename
for the first pages. Unless I'm being dumb again. Or maybe
there's a newer version than the one I'm using (2.1.0)
