This would be difficult to do in TT, since typically you're just moving files around in the Linux filesystem, using cp, mv, etc., so TT can't keep track. Shouldn't be too hard to write your own scripts to do this sort of thing, though. TT can be a hard slog to someone used to a GUI and Dreamweaver, but it works like a dream once you have it set up. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
