You guys are all saying that NEW users should download the 1.4RC5 to start with, but there is no tutorial based on that version while there is a tutorial based on the 1.3.3.14 version. I, being a brand new user, find that I need both versions, because if I don't find the elements mentioned in the tutorial where it says they are, then I am lost. It is, after all, the NEW user who has the most need for a tutorial. -- Dale Erwin Lurigancho, Lima 15 PERU http://leather.casaerwin.org ======= Email scanned by PC Tools - No viruses or spyware found.
