 Not the one that was mentioned, but I'd recommend Phase 5 written by
 Ulli Meybohm. It's one of the best HTML editors I know of and it's
 freeware. But you should have some experience with HTML, because it's
 not a WYSIWYG editor, but you have to edit directly the HTML source
 instead.

 Have a look at www.meybohm.de, the site is partly in German, but you can
 find the download just below that big Windows logo halfway down the
 site.

Thanks, Lars.  I'll do just that.

I don't know what'll be harder for me to understand, HTML or German.

:)

I'm also going to give NoteTab Pro a longer look, too.

I may already have everything I need right here on my computer.

 Thanks!

 PS: Please feel free to write me privately.

 I can't remember the post, but I can recommend First Page 2000
 (http://www.evrsoft.com/) as a really good, text-based editor. That
 said, you do need to know HTML to use it effectively because it is a
 text editor on steroids.

Yep, that's the one.

 Speaking of text editors, I can also recommend NoteTab (by Eric G.V.
 Fookes, who also produces Mailbag Assistant). He's enhanced this so
 much that he now claims it to be an HTML editor. You can download the
 free and commercial versions at http://www.notetab.ch/

I have NoteTab Pro; it's a *great* Notepad replacement.  But I don't
know much about it's more advanced features. I mostly use it to clean
up e-mails (HTML tags, etc.) for re-posting to mail lists.

I'll have to give it a look again.

Actually, I miss my old Netscape Gold (web authoring) program.  It was about as
goof-proof as you could get, but I can't find it anywhere.

 One of these days, I'll get around to learning Dreamweaver. That said,
 I've tried a few WYSIWYG HTML editors and none so far offer the
 flexibility of a good text editor and a reasonable knowledge of HTML.

Dreamweaver is the Big Kahuna these days, I hear.

I'm more into the Little (and cheaper) Kahunas.

Considering how often I lose things, e.g. all the contents of my hard
drives, I think I'll stick to cheapos.

Thanks for the reply!

PS: I had the recent misfortune of trying out The Bat!'s backup/restore
function.  :(

Worked like a charm!
