That's the mentality of people using *nix systems. They (me too) like to have either text files to edit (e.g. look at /etc which mostly contains plain text files) or like to have a way of making configuration scriptable. If I can configure all stuff using enlightenment_remote that'll be perfect. Then I do not care so much about having binary files or text files. If I change a setting e17 I at once have a look whether it is possible to use enlightenment_remote or not. I have a script e17_customize.sh containing enlightenment_remote invocations only. -- Manfred ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
