I'm not at all sure what a good answer would be here, it seems at first thought that we'd need either have two ways to specify the files in the commandline (say, -earlyfilein & -uifilein, which are both horrible and should not be used!) or to have some tags in the files to say where sections get evaluated - perhaps [preUI] & [postUI].<br><br><br>tim<br>--<br>tim Rowledge; tim@rowledge.org; http://www.rowledge.org/tim<br>Useful random insult:- Fell out of the family tree.<br><br><br><br></marcel.taeumel@hpi.de></div></blockquote>
