This explanation is now embedded in the overview of the Edit menu help page for all modules. - added module switch (after generic explanation), to indicate which specific kinds of links can be edited. (Kudos to Mike Kaganski for essential help) - change label: Links --> Links to External Files - also in access command in edit_menu - reorganize controls to correspond to dialog order - move paragraph about double-click to under "Source" heading - move to end of page -- they are not directly relevant to the command, but the information is generally relevant to those who would use this command, and not found currently elsewhere. - remove sys-specific warning about local cache (thanks again Mike) - add embed about "Close" command - removed "verknuepfungentext" variable and updated sdraw to use "links_text" like other modules (this was only place where that variable was used). - update to:
