Oh, wow - you really went deep with it. I never really took a close look at Viewdata, I have a client on my Mac but it's not the smoothest experience - for example I can't resize or maximise the window. I also prefer BBSing off my Acorn, so as a result I barely bother with Viewdata. It sounds like there are a lot of mechanisms inside it that I wasn't aware of.
