Would it be possible, using a Javascript extension to the browser, to get similar behavior from a file of HTML? That is, load a whole manual as a single file, then display just one subdivision of it, and change to a different subdivision in accord with user commands? -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
