Hi Walter,

All changes made are implemented immediately. In some instances what you
may need to do is (depending on what applications you are using to view
the website) to 'reload' the document. I don't know what Frontpage 98 is
or what it does, however, most web browsers load source code for viewed
pages into a buffer. If you make a change to a page (through on-line
editing or through FTP'ing a file to the site) and then go to view it the
browser will consult the source code in the buffer rather than asking the
HTTP server to re-transmit the source. In such instances ask the browser
to "reload' (Netscape, Internet Explorer & Lynx all allow you to do this:
I assume that Frontpage 98 allows you to fo the same).

No delay (see above).
