Hi Tony,

"not too distant past??!"  Just a little over  30 years ago!

, As i recall,   Cearbhall Ó Dálaigh  was President.  Am i right in 
thinking he launched it?  Incidentally, he served from December 
1976-October 1978.

none of us are getting any younger!  Smile!

Hi Stuart,

Thank you for that!

You have been giving
a bit of time and thought to this, for which I appreciate!

You know it is not so long ago that access to material in a visual format
was not available to us!

I suppose it is a little bit of a pain not to be able to activate certain
hyperlinks in Word docs but isn't it great to be able to read those albeit
perhaps going about it in a little
divert way!

Will check out the HTML version.

I remember in the not too distant past not having access to the written
word, and then I thought of starting Sceal Beo, [livving news].

Wonderful how things have improved since for us VIP's thanks to Vics, NCBI
and others!

All the best,

Tony.----- Original Message -----

Hi Tony,

Links in the html version will work in the same way as they would if you
were on a web page.

In short, you may find this an easier way to navigate to the information 
you
want as opposed to the word document.

Stuart.

Hi Stuart,

I will take a look at the manual in HTML at the url you gave!

Do you know are there links or hyperlinks to be negotiated
and are they easy to overcome?

I enquire as one who does not know much about such things, but am always
willing to learn!

Thanks,

Tony.----- Original Message -----

Hi Tony,

I'll see what I can do, although the manual is also available in html, 
take
a look at www.nuance.com/talks/

Hi Stuart,

Just a quick mail as the weekend descends upon us!

You obviously deal with the Talks people, Nuance a bit as you sell their
Talks software!

Would it be possible for you perhaps within the next week or so to have a
word with them and see if they can enlighten us on the matter?

In all fairness they may not be aware of their hyperlinks not  working and
possibly would appreciate feedback of that!

Thanks.

Tony.
