Once the LDLite/web interface thing got going, I stopped viewing models from
the newsreader. The other day, I decided that was kinda dumb because it only
takes a second to cut and paste the posted content into a file. I just created
a 0view.dat file which I open in the LDAO editor (thus opening an LDLite window
displaying 0view.dat), copy-paste the data from the post into the editor
window, and presto! I get to view the model and can very easily change the
view, size, set the option to view only to the cursor, etc.
I was particularly "encouraged" to do this when LDLite stopped viewing posts
using MSIE5.
To make intellegent comments about a posted part, I pretty much have to have it
in the editor window anyway.
