"Swampdog" kindly sent me a copy of bigscreen, which by the sound of
it is the same as monster.prg. I agree it's hard work, but the thrill
of seeing Web Pages in colour on my STE more than compensates. It will
also help me to build my own home page in due course, as I cannot
afford a Falcoln or a Panther graphics card. IMHO the *only* real 
thing missing from the STE is decent graphics, but virtual screens
do help.

Many thanks to all those who responded.

Cheers,

Will.
