(The Helpdesk is pretty clean as a result > of the new document set and the switch to CSuite.) I have systematically cleaned any references I find to both of these from any CCN documents I encounter. Consequently most (but, I would warrent, not all) of the CCN IP-area documents are free of these strings. However _many_ IP's have not changed references at all, so I expect you will find many instances of these strings in <link> elements there. > With help from MichaelS...

If your sanitizing script can do the job without causing catastrophe (or presumably lesser-iterations of the above), can you just turn them loose and let them chew through the info tree? Can anyone thing of any instances where such a change would be problematic? Cheers, Chris _._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._.
