I haven't actually done this yet, but I don't foresee anyissues in doing it. I *have* done this using ModRewrite.P.S., there is one bug that I know of however... but not sure ofwhich versions/platforms it may effect. Also, I'm not exactlysure of the bug off the top of my head. :-).. but it has somethingto do with the textarea I think.. in other words, create yourpre-parse scripts (in globals) in the the pre-parse file in a text editor and don't add them with the on-line textarea. I believe I sent that bug report to SMSI quite a while back and I believe thats whatit was... but its been a long time now!Donovan-- =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o DONOVAN D.
