This is really excellent, thanks for the pointer!  Very valuable.

It would be nice to be able to export denim "run mode" stuff to a
directory full of GIFs and HTML files containing imagemaps and be able
to put it up on a webserver.  For all I know, that's possible with some
external tool, but doesn't appear to be possible within the tool
itself.  No maillist archives evident, guess I'll need to google around
or look through source.

Doesn't look like it.  That's ok for me; creating anything pretty is a
distraction.

That would probably also be ok with me; I don't know how much Tablet PCs
cost, but this is an excuse to buy one. ;-)  It does work without tablet
and stylus pretty well, though.

Dammit, now you've made me need to go install RealPlayer. ;-)
