:I have a question regarding this "hot links" stuff... Why would anyone want it?
:I should think that under some conditions it would be nice, but most of the
:time it would mean having to remember to change the name or protection status
:of any file that I _didn't) want changed. I'd also have to remember what's
:being changed every time I did anything that had a hot link to somewhere else.
:Unless the computer is going to warn me (and thus it wouldn't be "automatic") I
:wouldn't want the headache of working with a system like that.

	I kind of like the idea, but think it is only viable if one has VM...
Otherwise you would need a *huge* amount of memory to deal with any reasonable
project.

	So, lets wait till VM comes to the amiga before we do anything about
this relatively minor item.
