That's because te settings menu uses ClassAct. I think Yvon used that
to speed up release. Hmm, I've not had that problem here. It must have
slipped through betatests. (shame on me for one) :-)

It doesn't do tables. But it interprets a </TR> as a <BR> for now,
making it less irritating on the eyes. And if you play around with 
some &nbsp; entities you can make your tables readable. :-)

It doesn't do backgrounds either as it's HTML-2 only. That stuff is
for the next release.

> What did you all think of it?

I like it. And I love the multiple windows feature. And the fact it
works with the 24bit datatypes and the clean easy interface. And the
ARexx support. And yes, an HTML-Heaven AWeb script is available. I
will put it up later today on the support page... :-)

take care,
