Very nice at first glance. I was at first confused by your 'very easy' instructions to run scripts because I've never seen a 'scripts' choice in my menu. Well, that's because I've been just ignoring that the cvs hasn't been installing with Python support. So I had to update Python, and then libxml. After all that hair-pulling (I really AM a linux-weenie), everything works flawlessly. I'm playing with the calendar scrpt now, and as I said it works very nice. -- Susan Hogarth : 919-906-2106 Michael Badnarik for President : http://www.badnarik.org/ "The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed." -- Alexander Hamilton
