Important Suggestion for the RTE

   Here's something that I would really want to see in Web Wiz's RTE:

Ever heard of KTML? It's an extension for Macromedia Dreamweaver. It's very similar to WWG's RTE, but has somewhat different features (and the obvious integration with Dreamweaver).
The most noticable feature KTML has is that the whole thing is integrated into the page as a call to a procedure, with parameters. You put into the parameters the different options you want to have available in the editor, the path to the file's upload directory, the path to the image upload directory, the width and height of the editor and more.

This is something I would really like to see in WWG's RTE (since I think it's way better than KTML and more convinient to use). The problem it has now is that all the configuration variables are constants in a specific configuration file. What I'd like to see is a way to configure these options on-the-fly when integrating the RTE into a page.

This can be useful especially for security reasons. For example, I can use user-specific variables to decide whether the user can upload files, and to which path on the server.

This can also be used for diversity reasons on different pages around the site. What if I want different pages on the site have different kinds of RTE's? Why should I need to upload a seperate RTE folder with different configurations?

This also brings me to the issue with the relative path-finding... I'm sure Borg is aware how inconvinient it is right now, and I'd love to see it fixed soon...

Thanks.
