@NewNote : would trigger the parser to create a new note
@Note PK Jim next time I see him. : The @Note would tell the parser to add the rest of the line to the note
@EndNote : would tell the parser to end and save the note.
However you still wouldn't be able to see that note in game untill you exited the game and came back or play craps and try loadui :P.
About the large exp numbers; that is something I have been planing on doing is allowing one the ability to cycle though the many exp types. Its just a matter of having time to do it. With summer here and running the kids from field to fild, city to city for ball I hardly have time for anything else.

OK, fair enough, I suspected that may be the case, since it appeared to be a "static" viewing tool. I do still find the notes useful, lately I've been using it for quest information, since the browswer is not fully html and does not seem to work properly for framed pages with searches and the like. I just have to remember to copy the text to a note first.
As far as summer and kids.... yeah tell me about it, if we could only harvest their energy to get things done then the 15th expansion would be completed already, hehe. Glad to hear that the large window modifications are in the works though.
I would also like to say that I have been playing around with some of the color palettes, since the bright grey is somewhat hard on the eye in darker areas such as the Bonemire.... and I have noticed that they do not seem to include the raid selection window box (the one with the compass inside) in them. I'm not sure if that was modified since they were created (in which case it is on the palette designers) or something else... ironicially it appears to be the only box that DOES have color in elfwanderer's previous post, which suggests to me that it's palette may be separate from the others. I've used the handy blank box to cover the hole, so it still looks ok and is covered, so it is a relatively minor thing, but thoguht it may be worth mentioning.
I'm also looking forward to the parser, I did not realize you had that in the works, since there does not appear to be any mention of it in the AUCP update notes. I use one occasionally called ACT (made by a gal on my server, it is fairly nice,
http://home.maine.rr.com/eqaditu/ACT/ is the URL for it if you or anyone else is interested in the mean time) but havig one built into the UI, especially with the quality you tend to produce would be quite handy.
As before, thanks for all the hard work, this is no doubt the best UI out there.
