@ Mark S I remember simple batch files, and appreciate how this is not that different. Except that this feels entirely different.
> Here's all that's needed to launch TW as an app. >>> >>> Put this script as a text file in your default download directory and >>> name as "launch_tw.ps1" >>> >>> param([string]$stem="foo", [string]$dir="") >>> $copyme = ls $stem*.html | sort LastWriteTime | select -last 1 >>> $copyme = $copyme.FullName >>> Copy-Item $copyme -Destination $dir\$stem.html >>> Invoke-Item $dir\$stem.html >>> >>> For each TW you want to run, create a single line script. Here's an >>> example named tw_bible.bat: >>> >>> powershell -executionpolicy bypass -File .\launch_tw.ps1 -stem "bible" -dir >>> d:\data\apps\TW_Ant >>> >>> The "stem" name is the unique first part of the name (e.g. "bible" if >>> your tw is bible.html). The dir is the path to the directory where you want >>> to launch your TW from. If this is the first time using this system, copy >>> your most recent TW file to the download directory. >>> >>> Do a right click on the bat file and create a shortcut. Drag the >>> shortcut to your desktop. >>> >>> Now, whenever you want to launch your TW, just double-click on the >>> shortcut. Your default browser will come up with the TW in a tab. >>> >>> That's all there's to it.

Basically don't require me to know anything about it. If I need to establish this batch file for each unique system and file, it's analogous to the difference between using an iphone and jailbreaking an iphone - not that hard (assuming you know what you are doing, and chose the right method, and don't upgrade, and ...) My Mother can use an iphone, but I don't trust myself to jailbreak one (after a steep learning curve). BTW, Does anybody actually USE TW5.html on their ipad or iphone?
