Sorry if this sounds obvious but what is the MServer window that is run when executing a Monkey program?

Also what is the purpose of the favicon file? Does this finally allow us to give our apps a proper icon without having to use external programs? If so how? I cannot see a mention in the docs.

Thanks for any help,
Jason.

The "favicon" is the icon that a browser shows left to the URL in the address field - for example the monkey when you visit the MonkeyCoder website. You usually upload this to your web server.

I don't know what MServer does, I'm not a monkey user, somebody else will have to answer that question.

MServer is there to serve your HTML5 app's files to a web browser. Web browsers can prevent access to local files via Javascript, for security reasons I don't pretend to fully understand (relating to the 'domain' the HTML and image files are on), but this works around it.
