Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club! Yes, the methode is a bit clumsy. Done step by step and by hand. Done for demonstration purpose only. Of course there is no need to edit a file by 3 external and 1 internal editor. It is all possible with Arachne :-) Even including a text edited in M$ WORD or WP. But I also told you this can be atomated and gave you at least 3 ways to do this. Automation of the process avoids typos in the file name and speeds up the editing.
