[thelist] File button

[Daniel Kessler]

ok, thanks everyone.

I wasn't trying to change which file they uploaded.  There are files  
associated with a Note through a relational database and if they  
wished to change which files are associated with the note then I was  
giving them that chance.  Sure I can display a "current files"  
section and I do that already but since they had uploaded using that  
button, I had wished to show it in the same area for consistency.   
Users are smartest when things are consistent.

Now I know that it isn't doable and while I hadn't thought it was,  
now I know.

thank you.
