I don't really have any lines to show -- do you want screenshots or something?
I am hoping to develop a macro that opens files a certain way.  There isn't
anything to show in a document.

You make me sound so lazy! (One of the three basic virtues of a programmer... ;)
) Again, I don't know what data you might want to see.

I will do my best to hack a macro together and then post it and ask questions
around that -- specificity is always easier.

This is a geat idea, but because of workflow here it won't work, though there
might be tidbits that help show the way to the macro I will write.  I really
want a button to open text files in arbitrary places in the file system put
there by other people.  Plus I think it would be generally useful.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, though!
