	I don't see why there would be any problem with this.

	Hmm.  I just took a look at MegaWiki.  It seems rather 
complicated, and the manual is pretty hard to follow, but it looks useful 
too.  I installed it on the emulator, and had no problem jumping into the 
memo pad.  Of course, you have to be able to edit the field for the click 
perform the action.  I can also jump into a record in DB, but I had to 
recompile to ensure that Global Find was on, and I had to set the global 
preference in DB to make sure that Global Find would be used.  (I seemed 
to be able to jump around in both MegaWiki 4.0 and 4.1b4)
