Well Andrew, that would be something else to check out, as I'm in
complete agreement, and also hate reading too much stuff from a
screen/monitor (even though I'm staring at a 21" CRT - thanks Dave!).

I find that it leads me to "skip read" web pages with "excessive"?
text. 

So perhaps if I did embark on such an endeavour, then it would probably
be something like a PDF, I believe they are, or can be made,
searchable? 

So it would be like just one download, or maybe make it available as and
online thing or pdf as well?

Don't know, as It's really just something that I've had floating round
my head (well, actually since Steve D did a "home visit" on his way back
from the "fair" a couple of weekends ago - and despite his protestations
otherwise, he, like quite a number of "Luggites", is an absolute "mine"
of commands, I suspect he'd turn down the offer of decapitation and hard
wiring ;-P !!!).

John D.
