Actually it's quite nifty doing the whole thing on the Newton.

You mean 'yes', as that's precisely what I was after!

I tried, but the Reload function is bracketed out. The help states "this reloads the most recent version from the internet, and, if the transfer is sucessful, deletes the previous item (HTML or Image cache)". So does it apply to remote pages only?

Thanks
