Just to launch it shouldn't be that hard, but you have to include a record in the Plucker document that includes the full name of the referenced document (can't include that much data with the function code.) Could be slightly complicated to locate the document, though. Well, maybe not "complicated", but still time-consuming (especially on devices that are equipped with external cards.) Also, it will not be possible to move back and forth between different documents using the history buttons (the session data is unique for each document.) However, the problem isn't really "how", but instead "who", i.e. who will implement this? I would like to bring back Mike Perry's Handera device on my trip to San Francisco next week, so I'm concentrating on fixing the Handera support this weekend. I don't think I will be able to fix everything, but stuff like the position of the icons and so on I can fix using Poser (the Handera ROM works quite well in my beta of Poser 3.4.) I also have a lot of work to do this week, since I will have the next two weeks off. I still accept patches to the viewer, though ;-) /Mike
