gee, maybe I better put a disclaimer with newtVNC that it's mind expanding
qualities could be fatal... ;-)

you mean Palm (as client) to view/interact with Newton (as server)?
in principle, yes. but practically no -- until I find out if it's possible
to deal with pen events at a lower level (see my earlier DEV query). so far
I'm just adding special cases to deal with tapping on various controls (and
this won't work for complex events like handwriting/sketching/dragging).
the newtVNC viewer does support handwriting on Newton client -- that gets
translated into text and sent to remote system.
