        Hmmm... Doesn't surprise me. The linking code is the oldest bit
of code in NewtWiki, and it's never really had a decent reworking. That
should probably be the next thing I do on it.
        I haven't seen "Inspiration". I've just recently started using
Macs, so I'm not familiar with some of the more esoteric things
available for it.

        Cheers,
