- This is helpful. I have dashed back to NB (having just left it to see
- if there was anything in email while deep in a paper on the role of
- state violence in SA for the International Journal of the Soc'gy of
- Law....) and looked at what Tony offers, and I will give this a whirl.
-
- What is not clear to me is how I would actually use this, but I have a
- sick feeling that I'm being a bit dim. I have tested some of this
- already over the last few days, and found that .bpl files, now all my
- addresses, appear listed very nicely indeed thank you kindly sir.
-
- Now, take it further: if I create a wodge of .tpl files (in \boiler?),
- being standard headings for various documents to be distributed to
- students - I assume that I will somewhere be asked whether I want my
- .bpl files or my .tpl files to be offered to me: right? I assume that
- buried in the system is a menu which I have not seen because so far
- \boiler contains only one set of files so there is nothing to choose
- between.
-
- And I'm not clear about the other (R) screen's use. But I assume that
- testing by creating a few directories and putting things into them
- will reveal all.
-
- Good night, all - it's 6.00 GMT and She Who Makes Chutney has just
- rung to say she's coming to take me away ho ho....
