Another way of doing it, obtaning good sides of both approaches is to use the "lines" query approach found in servers such as GN. In this way you can have a small file with the table of contents and then refer to the specific parts of a big .htlm document by line references. This caters for the guy with the small bandwidth. As it is still one monolitic document, document-wide searches can still be done conveniently. Keld
