Updatable Journal/Notepad
 

I thought I could use the in game browser to update a .txt file using Notepad. It doesn't work. I can surf to my hard drive and open the .txt file, but it opens in read only mode.

Is there a way to get the system to open a text or word file for update? I changed authority to the file I wanted to use to let "everyone" use it, but that didn't work.

Is this a problem in my firewall?

I can update the file through my browser outside of the game, but the in game browser won't give a workable object.

A method to keep running notes
 

What I did was downloaded the free version of ProjectForum's Wiki server. It can be found at http://www.projectforum.com/pf/free.html

Then, since I'm using the browser with bookmarks from Othesus (http://www.eq2interface.com/download...rks--GU32.html), I added a line for a bookmark like this:
<Data GoFlag="1" Text="Personal Notes Blog" href="http://localhost:3455/1/26"></Data>

Now, anytime I want to make a note of something in game, I can post it as a wiki entry to myself. I also can use the standard "cut and paste" commands to take text from in game and put it straight into the wiki. And, since it is all time stamped, I can keep a basic track of what happened and when for future records.

It does require a service running on port 3455. So far, this hasn't bumped into EQ2. If there is any fear that others might get into your wiki, just close that port to incoming traffic on your firewall/router.
