Yes - it wasn't all that much to modify.

Shell2() would be fine..

Got it working now.

Yeah - I'm just so anxious about getting rid of Brief once and for all, 
that's the main reason I keep reminding you of this. I understand perfectly 
well that a real undo/redo is not the easiest thing in the world to write, so 
I'll be (somewhat :-) patient.
 > See Louis's note to you.  Does that help some?
Indeed it does.
 >>8. I won't nag about the lack of TSE Pro/2 :-))

Not possible :-)

Well, you're asking the wrong person :-)
But, should you find a reasonably priced time source, please let me know :-)

Ah, thanks.

Excellent.

OK. But the file in this case isn't really read-only, but the buffer should 
be marked as such (and it'd be nice if that could be queried somehow).

Yes.

Great.
