I have X running fine on the Milan although I really only use it for JPilot to sync with my Treo 680 On my original set-up X required a lot of setting up but I think I just installed this version of X from EasyMint. I remember trying an X based browser in about 2000, it was probably dillo. It didn't work very well but maybe it has changed. Highwire is excellent, the only real drawback is the lack of Javascript. CSS is not perfect but far exceeds CAB and Links. Has anyone here looked at the source for HW ? I am not a C expert by any standard, it's far from my favourite language, but I expect you chaps will easily be able to follow the code very easily. Peter
