Well, that works, I guess. :-) I'm sure we could throw something native together in no time, and make it totally internal to rhesus... :-) Johnny Well Python does run on RHESUS so I could do a bunch of stuff that way. But this works, so until it stops working, I'll leave it :) Fair enough. BTW, do you want to write something for the top section of the HLP file? Currently I just copy pasted the website stuff. Nothing right now anyway. Might get back to you some other time, if I feel inspired. :-) Johnny

Be aware that the HLP compiler cuts out any text after the .BEGIN-HECNET-INFO bit so put anything you want in the help files ABOVE that. Speaking of HLP compilers, I've set up a cron job to run on Sundays at 0500 EET, my robot will be sending update notices to the list when they happen.
