Something like Pocket Grandmaster has? It would enable somebody to work their way through a bunch of tactics problems easily. I would pay more for such a feature (I've already bought Tiger), and it's the only reason that I would consider getting a PocketPC. I don't know of an easy way to do that on a Palm. (The only way to do this with Tiger is too painful for me - maybe I'm dumb and there's an easier way.) Regards, Keith
