interpreted = N
texte = I can't say I care too much about 4.5 on classic, but what about GREP? Ken's been asking for the grep manual for awhile and I would love to see it as well. Also would like a fix for the problem in v5.0 where the unix people can still specify the "folder" for mail pickup but windows people cannot. If you just mess it up for unix folks I will be just as happy that they had to write work around code too!
