Hello Sybille, I created a small site accessible via a wap phone. The wml
language is fussier than html re tolerance of bad code but overall its
fairly easy to get to grips with. The wap site must be published on a
server with a wap gateway (I think it senses the make and model of the phone
that's trying to access the site and outputs appropriate wml). You can
create wap sites and test them locally with the free kits that come from the
likes of Nokia at http://www.nokia.com/corporate/wap/sdk.html.

Subject: Small HTML help???
Hi,
Someone asked me what kind of html help system could be used that would not
be too big to be used when accessed via a mobile phone?
Thinking about it, the help system might not be the problem, as long as the
info is stored on some sort of central server? Of course, the topics
themselves would have to be short with no flashy bits... :-(
