Double clicking on an express file will launch a new instance of The Regulator with the document open. -added: ability to specify a web address in the input file text area must be preceded with http/ftp prefixes. -added: pressing "Enter" when writing an input file name/web will automatically refresh from that file(no need to click the refresh icon)

-removed: performance tab -changed: icons and links in the main form -fixed: Regex options toolbar bug fixed where unchecking one of the options would remove all the other options as well (darn bit masking) -fixed: closing a single document did not prompt a "save before close" dialog if document was changed and not saved. -fixed: various problems related to inaccurate relative file paths (snippets loading and saving not working correctly for example) -fixed: importing a regular expression from web search now correctly places input segments into separate input rows (Replacing "|||" with new lines)
