That'd be a drag. Have you tries asking the Glimmer authors how to do this? It may already be there. If not, I suggest making a patch for Glimmer; it may already support a ".glimmerrc" or something like that. If the user preferences need to be per-document (which I doubt), then you will have to store them inside comments in the code, with a way to set the "magic" sequence at the start of the comment that lets Glimmer recognize them. It's a pretty trivial hack, worst case, I think. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
