the script came out well. you just have to selct the part from begin
to end, copy it
in an external file and then do an uudecode on it. i'm now having a look at it.
if you put your fb as a line input for the script it would be more adaptable
than is now. but it's a good script. i think i'll attach it over a
hotkey. if i manage to
have it attached to a hal event it would be even better...
thanks for it.
