Ideally, support for this should be not just a word being clickable, but entire lines or whatever the user wants. Being able to export this information to the memopad or equivilant program would definatly be a goal. The only trick is right now the text output is being written out graphically to the palm's screen, rather than as field text for example. This is done to handle scrolling to the detail of a pixel, rather than to the line of text (ie, scrolling while viewing a memopad entry), as well as including images, links, etc. As a result, highlighting the text would be no problem, but there's no way to get the contents of the text out from the screen without re-calling it back from memory. It wouldn't be impossible to do, but under the current ways of how things are being printed it would be fairly messy, imo. > Care to venture an estimate on how long it would take > a n above average C/C++ developer to get his arms > around Palm development on an NT box? You'll have to do it under cygwin's gcc/prc-tools. I couldn't really venture a guess as of how long, but it would be interesting to see it work :) > ps.
