THANK YOU!  that's precicely what i was looking for!  :)

what i was thinking of when i made my request is the JavaScript stuff
that many people use to filter prevent their code from being executed
by browsers that wouldn't be able to deal with it...

hehehehe...  actually, i think this will work out nicely....  now i
can start working on some stuff...  hmmmm...  convert my GIFs to
GS-compatible pix, then have them on file...  <g>  THEN, whenever SIS
gets to the point where it'll display inline graphics, the Apple users
can see my page the same way...  ;)

ahhhhh...  the possibilities are ENDLESS!  <g>

thanks again...
