Now thats another issue again ..... does <PRE> stuff look OK in Lynx ?? I dunno if Lynx is that relevant to manuals with heaps of pics though .... unless the existing stuff can be readily converted to some sort of text. I won't be writing ANY docs that don't have heaps of screen shots, so if that results in something unusable to Lynx users then so be it .
