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 .
Probably any Lynx user would be beyond using the extremely simplistic
newbie level stuff I do anyway.

OK so far ....I'll have a poke around the htmlhelp site when I have a bit of
