Yup. I just want to avoid the whole scenario where I have to include the editor with the email client, and/or require someone to download/buy a specific editor, when what is required is really straightforward as editors go. That said, I come from the old school of programming. When you learned to program on a PDP 11/780, then a Pet 3032, ZX80, ZX81, QL, Acorn and so forth, you resist the new stuff and try what you know... Last week, I used a GOTO! As the locals say, I'm not the loudest rattlesnake in the bush, but I'm the orneryest ;) Dave
