I'll check it out, I did see the HTML codes, and after I posted before I did open 
the zip and deduce the # was the trigger

I did the same as Phydeaux and grabbed it already, but its good to have it
there in the zipped file to make it easier to find.

Thank you, I look forward to the next editor having the support in it
so that it will be easier to specify where the event should be.
Multiple Event, Multiple sound will be great
#:sound1.au
#:sound2.au
if .mid and .au use different sound engines( I think they do) you
might even get midi as a background (loop or start type control)
and have .au events (mutiple sounds supported) it would be nice
if you didnt have to declare the sounds in the html, but that isnt
too hard so if you have to then thats ok.


Anyway Merry Christmas to those that celebrate
Happy Monday to the rest ;)
