Hi Eric,

Is it possible to include a pinch zoom gesture in the hview area? I am thinking 
it may be nice to examine some vector graphics such as SVG in more detail.

Also, you mentioned the bringing the files across for the html docs. I think 
that it would be easier for you to do this within the app since I think the 
user is restricted to adding files to only the root level. Just a thought for 
future development, I agree with your original idea of paving the cowpaths once 
the first version is out and we see what documentation may be most useful.

Cheers, bob

 In case I forget to mention it, it will have a welcome escape. A hview
 rightswipe will end the welcome script. But how will you know you aren't
 missing something cool?

Since SVG is compatible with html5, you can write out SVG code and have it 
display in the hview. It works well for creating interfaces and mapping 
applications ( and it is working with hview including previous 5 displays).

Would it also be possible to load the documentation through the JAL? I have 
done this easily through the server version of JHS 701 on my laptop, but I am 
not entirely sure how it would work in the world of iOS.

I also noticed that if I four finger swipe to another app, then change the 
orientation on the iPad, when I swipe back to the J application it begins with 
the splash screen for a second or two before it updates back to the current 
state of the working session. Doesn't seem to be a problem with the iPhone as 
it seems that the animation in app switching may correct the problem.

Cheers, bob

 You have mentioned svg before. Are you putting svg stuff in hview? The plot
 results are html5 canvas. Pinches and similar stuff won't be in this first
 release.
 
 You  are not restricted within the sandbox where you can put files. You can
 create folders etc to your hearts content using normal J facilities. But
 you are restricted to the sandbox with is the entire folder structure as
 set by you and J from /Documents (root).
 
 For example, your could do the following (untested pseudo code):
 
   1!:55jpath'~user/myhelp'
   fromurl'www.jsoftware.com/.vocabul.htm) fwrite
 '~user/myhelp/vocabul.htm'
   writehview_jzplot_ fread'~user/myhelp/vocabul.htm'
