- Actually I've been reading and rereading this post. I think it may be
- possible with HTML 3. I've been reading up on defining the backgrounds
- and the foreground elements of web pages. If the palette values could be
- converted to hexadecimal rgb values and certain event commands could be
- converted to links....since both HTML and Lingua are purely text based,
- this could be possible...of course part of the script would have to be
- converting and cropping iffs to gifs....

- executed from ImageFX and do the whole shebang? (If you can pull them off
- writing pc code for a few minutes.... *duck*)
