try.

For anything very involved, I might prefer scripting in Python if the
macro lang is something different.  But with the source, I presume I
can.

I just thought of one.  Windows Explorer lets me mark (select) several
files and delete all.  But in the cookie dir, I would like to mark
(select) the few I want (that have userids or whatever for sites I
regularly ) and delete all the rest (hundreds or even thousands).

6. Someone who want a program that will work both on Windows and *nix,
and whose personal configuration file is portable (instead of being
locked in the Windows registry).
