Actually, it is set. In my test I simply copied the entire standard print skin into a new directory, with no changes, and used $ActionSkin. The suffix is not appended correctly, so it looks like something is going wrong...

Kind of. I have a PC utility that spiders a URL, and converts the wiki into a PDA readable format.

This is an excellent idea, and works great. Thanks. Any preference on where I document this? Possibly under Cookbook/SkinChange, or create a new page?
