Abe,
Well it works. I did what you recommended and got "can't open file" and / 
or "syntax error".  I eventually found that there was something wrong with 
my Python 2.2 installation, so I reinstalled it and Twisted and then HEP 
worked fine.

I'm reading through the material you've written on HEP and the app looks 
very interesting and promising. It'll take me a while of playing with it to 
see how I can use it.

Can I create custom message sources ?  like pdf's from a specific Website 
?  Can I use HEP to index, or at least make sense of  some large 
collections of HTML files - news articles,  documents, manuals, etc. - that 
reside on my HD ?
