I too like Internet Assistant, but it's not complete. I retain other HTML
editors to carry out specific tasks - setting the background colour is much
easier with HTML Assistant.

I have also discovered a bug in IA. If you use the HTML extension and flip
back and forth between the WYSIWYG view and HTML source view you can lose
ALL formatting! The problem doesn't occur if the files have just htm as an
extension. This is a pain since I've found that Netscape prefers the HTML
extension (on my computer connecting to the Chebucto Community Net at
least).

Despite this annoyance (!!) it's still a very nice interface.
