Ok, I found that. I guess I could hack around in there as you suggest.

Preference item? Oh, I see where that is. Ok, I changed that to

{    underline = '0'; }

which seems to work, and means I can turn it back on if I want it.

What would be the syntax for that, exactly?

I'm no kind of programmer, although I do hack around with html, which is one
of the things I want TxMt for. The thing I use plain text for more is when I
am writing and organising my ideas; I like to get just the words down, I
find if I try to write in a word processor I get immediately distracted by
formatting issues and don't get my thoughts out.

Nah.

I'll have to look at some of the tutorials; I only have a vague idea what
you might mean here. What's that got to do with underlining links?

> Or is this just a visual style issue?

Pretty much - like, I've read 'The Mac is Not a Typewriter' and I know that
underlining, er, what's the technical term again... sucks!
