>>I don't think it's a good idea for one of these functions to "guess" that I want to remove something that isn't a metacharacter when in fact I may not.
Exact. Another good example is the MSHTML editor which absolutizes relative link addresses accordingly to the directory in which the editor is run, which can be quite different from the real context. If I want relative address, I don't need any one to make it absolute, especially if it does it wrong. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
