Wow, that souds cool.  I take it that you can just download any PDF to the
Kindle and read it?

In the ooDialog docs whereever I edited a method documentation I changed the
railroad tracks to what I am thinking of as 'simplified' railroad tracks.  I
was going to post something about it, didn't get around to it.

It basically gets everything one line.  (Well I guess two lines.)  If the
argument is required it goes on the center line, if it is optional it goes
below.  But, there is no listing all the keywords, or the default, etc.  It
looks like this, for every method:

>>-colorRef(-+---+-+-----+-+-----+-)--><
             +-R-+ +-,-G-+ +-,-B-+

or

 >>-add(-image-+---------+-)------><
              +-,-mask--+

Would that display better on the Kindle?  (Of course ist is dependent on
monospaced font.)  In the ooDialog docs at least, it does away with all the
numerous split up railroad tracks.
