*I* do... Actually, the *only* thing TB is better then Pegasus in
(not considering GUI -- but I usually don't care about GUI that
much anyhow, it's functionality that matters for _me_: one can
get accustomed to any GUI IMHO) is all this scripting (starting
from the Templates, and then regular expressions, etc., etc.). If
there were no such tools in TB, I'd have unsubscribed from
here way ago --- and would've trashed TB (mainly due to it's
multiple bugs)... So I'm *very much* interested in expanding
and extending the regular expressions support; furthermore, I
would *love* to see the direct support for Perl scripting in TB.
Even if this required one to install Perl (FYI, I've got it installed
for quite a long time already:)).

Wow, Paula, that was clearly a typo on my part. Actually I ment
"macroses". I'd love to be able to define my _own_ macroses
based on the ones already available. Just a "dummie" example
(not useful at all, but...):
%MYDATE = "%DATEEN (St. Petersburg, Russia: GMT
+0300)"
This might come to be *pretty* useful if you start using the
regexp-based macros. Regular Expressions are fairly long, and
one can construct many useful things with their help, it would
be lofical to have some way to "group" them having given them
descriptive names --- and this _is_ a definition of new macro
function.....

Thought for the day:
In any human endeavor, once you have exhausted all
possibilities and fail, there will be one solution, simple and
obvious, highly visible to everyone else.
