:: sigh :: That's an interesting thread there. Thanks for posting that. Who's the poster there under the screen name "Noreen"? I don't recall her here, but she seemed very enthusiastic about Rev.

Amen, Brother Roger. Testify! We're partway there with Rev's htmlText and url handling, but there's a ways to go. CSS is a bear to get out of Rev, and harder still to put in.
