X-no-Archive:yes
I use the FrontPage Express that comes with IE, just for system
documentation. So, no apps, no cgi, basically just hyperlinked text (isn't
that how this whole mess got started?). I do use a great deal of
hyperlinking and "bookmarking" (I believe NetScape and most others call it
an anchor), mostly within a page, but also between pages. For instance, I
have a few pages of generic ftp help and some instructions and guidelines,
and from the latter and other documentation that involves ftps, I will link
from a reference to the SITE command to ../FTP/FTPHELP.HTML#SITE, that sort
of thing.

The major annoyance is that FP Express assumes that I am using a server that
speaks the FrontPage extensions (which are owned by a company other than MS,
who isn't interested in sharing), and refuses to remember that the page that
I am editing was opened as a file. I have to choose the As File button when
I want to save the document for the first time. Thereafter, I believe FP
Express will remember how the file was saved. So just to open a file, I
cannot choose the file from the file history. I have to navigate the Open
dialog. And, since I am going thru SAMBA, I am likely to have to provide the
share password the first time I navigate to the share.

Once you accept FP Express's assumptions and work around them to open and
save a page (just that first time), it is adequate for simple text. If your
colleague needs to do something more than edit hypertext for human eyes, I
cannot address this experience using FP Express. Nor do I know enough about
HTML to evaluate how clean the results are, or whether I could get smaller
pages with another tool.
