Hello again Derek,

Ok it is working now.  The problem was i didnt know at first that
you had to type a new name into the browser.  I was looking for a button
or link to start a new page.  That's kinda strange if you ask me.

Also, i made the mistake of typing the wrong thing inside the
brackets [[x]] so that didnt work at first either...now it's ok.

Thanks again.

Take care,
Al
