Of course you have to do this for $purchase, $add, etc.This is good stuff, Grant! But that brings up another question ...Are you going to make the Mac version recognize this alternate ?command=search& syntax as well ... so we don't have ANY changes to make between the Mac and NT versions some day? Maybe?No rush, I'm just curious ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions
