Hi Jeremy, Many thanks for your reply. It sounds as though TiddyFox is much more restictive than I thought :-).
I look forward to the improvements you mention, having a whitelist of files you can write to seems the way forward to me. My brain is currently in tiddlyWiki and I'd be devastated it I couldn't get access to it anymore !
