yes, there's a JPEG plugin available to registered users. once installed, it
could be used by other apps to convert/display JPEGs (is that what you mean
"work for any application").

you can set the Page Size until i/ General prefs generally you should avoid
the Full setting unless you're on MP2100 or not connected to NIE (closing a
full book window on MP2K or eMate with NIE connected will tickle some system
memory management problems which leads to slow motion or crash).

good summary. though Newt's Cape has a few HTTP 1.1 features,
it isn't completely 1.1 compliant.
