Thanks. I have a situation where % does have to be escaped with
prepended %, and I wondered if the same trick might work, there. Other
times, a \ is needed.

It's good to know exactly what to watch out for - I've been *about* to
pin the scope of this problem down ever since I imported around 2500
bookmarks as HTML and *lost* about 1 percent of them.

Overall, I like JetLinks - the explorer-like interface is nice, the
program checks for duplicates when you add a bookmark (duplicates are
not allowed - you can add an alias). Not perfect - but the pros outweigh
the cons by a good margin.

I'd say so, yes. And guess what? I've been using it, today. :)

My box blew yesterday. I coulda died. :)

I replaced the PS -- no joy. I had a spare CPU on hand, so I
stuck that in -- same result. So while I'm waiting for FedEx to
bring a cheap emergency motherboard replacement (I don't want to
do an actual upgrade, now -- I want to do too much hardware
comparing before I dive into that) I'm back to 400MHz and 64Mb
ram, on my old World War I vintage laptop.

In the process of moving back into it, I wanted to get my browsers
(Moz and Opera) synched, so I downloaded JL and slapped it on. I
also upgraded Moz from a *beta* to 1.4. Poop! I forgot to
upgrade my Java, too. Just remembered that.

Of course, taking time out to do a *bit* of Usenetting reminds me
how much...

....Xnews ROCKS :)

Take care.

That, it does, dunnit? }:O)

I tried the Xnews-WINE thing again, yesterday (something I first
attempted under MDK 8.2). It *still* positively sucks.

Screw it. *sniff*[1]

[1] Whoops. *gag*

Ack! Glad you didn't. I keep telling you - salt water and electricity
are *not* a good combination. Switch to a turbo-computer - just make
sure you have a good swift tide . . .

Luckily, the laptop battery isn't a health hazard. :)

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I haven't quite found what I'm
looking for.

I am redesigning my web site with a totally new look and I wanted to
find a simpler way than retyping each site and its link.

So far the simplest way is to cut and copy, but that entails all sorts
other commands that Frontpage has put with the link and which I
defintely do not want in my new html script.

Thanks!

Bert,
Did you ever find what you were seeking? You also might look at an
old email from Genna. I or others mentioned most of her
recommendations earlier in your thread, but I think not all. She
included descriptions and links; I just copied here title line.

You also might look through the recent bookmarklets thread if you
missed it. Several of the scripts list links on a page (e.g., email
only, internal/external/inpage, from selected area, search for string)
in several formats.
