Excellent ! It works fine now after removing the first "/". Nothing to do with CSS plugin, although I need that pluging to edit SS in composer, so am I told on this page http://thelinuxapprentice.com/designawebsite.html - click on CSS n' plugin and download plugin/installation/Cascades XPI. THe installation proceeds, but when I check under tools there is nothing to see about CSS. Both NT and W98 have this. Thanks again, Jolato
