As implemented in the fabulous news reader "40tude dialog" you could consider implementing a (possibly language dependant) file 'acro<lang>.dat' that contains all known acronyms in the form "ACRO=meaning". The viewer can display the acronyms underlined and if the user places the mouse over it, it can display the meaning in a "bubble" near the mouse cursor. When reading usenet postings I personally find it very helpful. And when reading email messages with TB I sometimes miss it :-) -- Regards, Peter Using Ritlabs TheBat! 3.0.2.10 (OS: Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2) ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.10 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
