Many thanks for your replies.

I guess for now, we have to stick to making our own routines for handling HTML 
and hyperlinks. Let's hope Palm will implement HTML-rendering soon.

Based on Aarons feedback, I've managed to put together some simple 
sensitive-area hyperlinks. This works, however it's not particularly nice, and 
nothing like real HTML. I suspect a full HTML-renderer would mean double 
buffering and a somewhat intelligent algorithm for rendering longer pages and 
handling scrolling, not to mention different font styles and sizes (notice I'm 
not even mentioning images here. Isn't the BMP format a little outdated???). 
There's simply too much work and processing required using high-level 
programming to make it work efficiently on, say, a Tungsten E. So, I really 
hope the people planning future Palm OS developments are reading this forum and 
this thread.
