Jeff gave us the latest update on the 918/DX:

Yup.....

Then Jeff P.P.S.'d on my RAPID issue:

I'm not worried:  The HP people from SSG - Roseville were
unequivocal the way I heard it:  TRANSACT/iX will be on the
918/DX....  And, yeah, at least one of those HP managers is
sending out her usual email autoreply saying she's gone for
a few days....  When they do answer, ask them if they have
decided to include DICTIONARY/3000 yet..     ;-)

Thanks, Jeff, for all your work on this..  and all the other stuff.
