Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!
Hi Greg M.,
Yes, if you run Arachne from a call
from a custom batch file, then an ALT-X will
trigger your custom batch file. That is why
ALT-E is necessary. ALT-E doesn't trigger the
batch file that Arachne is called from. I never
suggested that one should use ALT-X instead of
ALT-E. I was just trying to point out their
similarities. I was not discussing their
differences. I am sorry if I was misunderstood.
That's one of the problems with these lists,
it's often hard to convey one's exact thoughts
or intentions. <ggg>
Eric
