Thanks for the step-by-step instructions. Very useful. I don't know why the previous error occurred. The sites should not get cut off anymore. I thought I fixed that, but I guess I have to take another look. It's important to remember though that the Newton has only 4 Megs of RAM which is not much space at all for todays web sites. 

Thanks again for checking the version out.
