OK. My fault. Yes, what I'm talking about is: whatever I write in the title 
tag, e.g. in the Document Properties dialog, will auto-fill to the H1 tag, 
and when I save the file the first time, there will be a suggested file name 
based on the title. Example:

title: Tell Ol&#039; Bill
H1: Tell Ol&#039; Bill
file name suggestion: tell_ol_bill.html

So do I :-)
Looks nice so far. Rough but friendly tone - I like that...

Probably true, but the nice thing about an ordinary forum is that there's a 
chance someone else has had my question, and someone else again, an admin or 
an ordinary user, has had an answer. Since it would have been easier for me 
to find the answer, or to browse "partial hits" to get a more general idea 
about the relevance of the question, I wouldn't have had to bother you with 
it, you wouldn't have had to spent time on the answer (and these 
followups...), but instead spent more time on development, and everybody 
would be happy! :-)

About DW search:

I will. I will have to log in to the Windows partition, then... Hm. Ok then - 
I'll do it. But don't hold it against me.

OK. Phew. :-)
