I even did not get my original ibrowse hotlist to work in it, not even 
after I used the convert stuff that is indicated on the ibrowse homepage. 

Would it not be nice to have one hotlist for all the browsers, while one 
has to use different browsers until they have developed to a more mature 
stage? 

Any idea for the developers?

Sorry to disapoint you, but I like it more the way it is now, because if I
jump to a link in the hotlist I normally stay a while there so I've always had
to close the window by hand with the older versions of IBrowse.

>I've been meaning to ask it for a while...

Why not earlier? I'm sure there are a lot of peope out there who agree with
your opinion and not mine.

That's fine. Actually, I expected that some people would like it better
this way. It's a very good indication that the hotlist auto-close
feature should be a preference option. I'll CC: a copy of this message
to the IBrowse folks to bring it to their attention.

It bothered me more before I discovered the "?" gadget next to the URL
line can be clicked to bring it back in the same state without going
through the menus.

Still, I'd like to see an option to have it hang around.

BTW, does anyone know of a good external program to play AVI files?  I
found a site with an AVI of a Dodge Viper (drool!), which I tried to
play, but xanim just said something like "Intel <mumble> codec not
supported" and wouldn't play it.  I didn't see anything else promising
on aminet, save for a program that was only for one specific graphics
card instead of cybergfx.

I don't think you'll have any luck. As I understand it the Intel AVI Codec
is only available to those who pay a (large) fee, so it's unlikely to be
supported in a shareware/freeware product :-(
