Actually, Steve, it isn't one way if you don't mind doing a little cutting
and
pasting :) So if you really think MPD is that much better than what you
did,
where can I get it to see if I like it, I mean there must be some sort of
program to MPD and un-MPD, I've never seen it anywhere. Is this MPD thing
as simple as inlining?? I like inlining because it's easy and you can view
in
Ledit, which I do 99% of the time. With MPD you have to split it to view in
Ledit, am I correct??
