-> Let me add a twist to this question.  Since the web menus and such are
-> created dynamically, is there a way to have the file areas list
-> alphabetically and such?  I have 150+ Shareware CDs online, and
-> currently, as it is now, whatever I installed last, is on the bottom.  I
-> would sure love to have it list alphabetically so all the "nightowls"
-> were with nightowls, and such.

-> Would this be a feat of wcBasic?  Or reformatting the HTML before its
-> displayed?

It would have to be a wcBASIC trick, in the module that handles the
listings.

One other alternative would be a javascript trick -- check out
http://webreference.com/js/column15/   for a cool script that lets you
provide a scroll-down box listing things (like file areas) that are not
only sorted by the browser automatically, but are also selectable by
typing a portion of the name (so you could jump directly to the specific
file area in the list that matches what you type, as you type it). Try
out the demo on that page to see how it works. This could be implemented
entirely through template files.
