If it is for Qedit so would I. I use a macro here as a word wrapper.

I author my website with Qedit or MrEd (OS2 editor), I prefer Qedit though.
 The webpages that Word or Front Page creates, is CSS, C (something) Style
Sheets.  I found the even when the nodelist was in excess of 3MB I could
use Qedit DOS or OS2 to edit it.  I have used Qedit since I joined Fido.

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
