Gaah, meta-meta-meta-issues - when will they stop? :) Text-wrapping
breaks code; I guess that's why "shar" was invented.

The above will, of course, fail even in Mozilla - since the content of
"onclick" must not contain a newline. I guess this is something for
Heather and Thomas to note for later - unless you want to reformat it
and resend it, Neil. It should be something like

To test please <A HREF="http://www.alacut.com/page4.htm" 
ONCLICK="return wait(true);">Click here</A>.
