[Pmwiki-users] Idea about the preview

[Wayne Lee]

more opinion:

it has been suggested to me by many of
our wiki users that the preview should
come before the edit area for the reason
mentioned below.

i'll look into switching it around, but if
anyone successfully done this, please
post the info.  thanks!

thanks,
wayne
