Ok, the substitution for untitled (unbenannt) didn't happen because it is only done in the first two/three lines of the file.  This is probably sensible, I wouldn't want my editor to randomly change any variables called untitled throughout the program.

Perhaps the {filename} could be left in the file until it is saved the first time and all occurrences replaced.  But then, are there any languages where that is a valid sequence? Looks vaguely like Perl or Ruby but its been a while since I've used them??  Maybe templates are going to have to force immediate saving so they can get a filename.

As for the scrambled screen, I'm not sure what that is, but it probably isn't related to the template, does it happen with any other existing files?

I suggest that you post the tgz to the mailing list (taking out anything that you don't want on a public forum of course) so that Nick/Enrico can look at it.

In my timezone its bedtime :-)
