I appreciate the reply, and I realize that this might be a bit problematic. However, unless the performance hit is extreme, it should be liveable. I simply want to display/manipulate a playlist. In the meantime, I'm using a console mode program - but it would be nice to have graphics and a larger typeface.

While it *might* be possible to use the Linux compat layer to run the Linux X server, I'd expect a performance hit. -- Matthew Graybosch http://www.starbreaker.net "Sartre was mistaken: Hell is not other people.
