Hi, it is quite nice to see that designing browsers is not left to two firms. I hope that the W3C will continue in developing a browser demonstrating the need for standardization - so I hope that Amaya will soon be fully compatile to HTML 4.0 and CSS 2. Using the Amaya V1.2a under Linux, I found two problems. It woud be very convenient to have the selected text in the HTML window ('Formatted_view' and 'Links_view') of Amaya also available for cut & paste actions under the X window system. Is there a special function available now to achieve this, e.g. to insert parts of a displayed HTML document in an editor like 'vi' running in an xterm? Is it planned to built in such a feature in near future, e.g. as a new point in the 'Edit' commands? Getting a listing of a local directory is comfortably by using 'File' - 'Open document', but it is standard to get a listing displayed in giving a directory as URL. This function is not implemented in version 1.2a. I think this would be quite a nice feature for later versions of Amaya. Both points would also be solvable in creating another view: "Browser_view" without any editing capabilities for all the old-fashioned webmasters pre- ferring to create web pages in the fastest way possible - by simply manipu- lating ASCII files with the familiar editor. ;-) Thus following links would be possible by just pressing one mouse button and pressing cursor keys would cause the document to scroll a line. Beneath that the browser should not go to the beginning of the document when reloading a document. Many thanks for your help, Jochen M.
