For some reason, that isn't working now, and I am guessing the problem is with wave. Try again with a new wave, and you might get better results. Here are the instructions: Hello! I can insert random fortunes, similar to the unix program. to use a specific library, type %%library%% to search for a particular topic, %%:topic%% to search for a topic in a particular fortune library, %%library:topic%% and to just put any fortune in, %%%% Available libraries: doit, farber, limerick, fortunes, zippy, startrek, unamerican, mommymommy Normally the bot gives you instructions upon adding it.

I added it to my contacts, then to a new wave, but haven't received any replies from it. Sorry for being dense, but how do you get the bot to give you a fortune?

At the launch, I gived the URL to open and the virtual session which firefox could use. This was the solution I found at the time (2 yrs ago) to be able to "automatically" use firefox from "command line" To pass parameters into the firefox , I appended my parameters on the URL passed firefox, and made an extension in firefox which: - parsed the URL and extracted my parameters from it - open the real URL without the parameters I think I will look into the JSLib as it could be the solution to pass parameters in a more gracious way :) Greetings, Very good review

It's kind of klunky, but for small tweaks it's much less klunky than using ftp. I believe that I have the same hosting service as you, and I can edit files on the site using cpanel.
