replace /public.html with empty in wherever the url is. That's assuming it's always the same string you want to get rid of. Alternatively: set the itemdelimiter to / replace item 4 of wherever your url is with empty Pete Molly's Revenge http://www.mollysrevenge.com On Sun, Jul 31, 2011

This is not about people who do not want to upgrade, it's about people who do want to upgrade, are willing to pay, need to support the users of their applications, but cannot because of Apple's upgrade methodology. Sounds like they will provide a hard copy method to upgrade eventually. Pete
