Hi Tim,

Yeah, it *really* frosts my petunias when I need to do a search to
locate where I'm working, so I appreciate your suggestion.

The page eight 2 paragraph article is that Tidy removed all indentation
and made the document quite a bit easier to deal with. As a matter of
fact, I can run its result through a quickie AWK script to add a few
strategic blank lines at it will be quite suitable.

The headline screaming across page 1 is that tidy acts as a lint
utility so I can write decent HTML, even though I'm a very careless
person. This is priceless.

Thank you VERY much!
