Regarding the heaviness of IE, I will point out that CPRS already comes with IE in it. I had to take it out to get the WINE version to run. I have added a second one to display progress notes that happen to be in HTML format. It wouldn't be a big deal to add another one. And multiple instances don't result in multiple copies of the full IE, I believe, any more than having multiple IE windows does. I may explore this method more. Of course IE can introduce security risks. I'll have to think about that...
