I would create a link to a standard URI and let the browser's filetype handler decide, then set the default application settings in the browser for the filetype. If this is living on a web server then the file path would need to be appropriate. If the file needs to be local, use something like "file:///some/path/to/notes.txt". Best, Ben python -c "exec(\"import math\\nprint ''.join(map(lambda x: chr(x), ( (ord('a')-(3*5)), int(math.sqrt(math.pi*76)*5+2), int(math.ceil(math.e)*28), int(math.floor(math.e)*35), long(abs(4%3*35+3)*2))))\")" On Fri, May 31, 2019 at 10:30 AM Stephen Partington wrote: > HTML? no.
