LOL. I remember the windows macro recorder. When it went I

Well I used to use a variety of editors anyhow, because each
seems to have a function not found in the others.

That includes Arachnophilia <Sp?>, Dreamweaver, Claris, and
the Symantec one that always escapes memory, plus <very
occasionally!> the one bundled with Win 98. I've got a
couple of text editors that know html. They seem to be
popular.
