Hi Chris Thank you for your answer - and your technical advice, even if my questions show just how little I understood of it all in the first place ;-) I'm a little wiser now. I hope someone reads this, and gets inspired to make systems or TiddlyWebapplications which let someone like me (low level user] - run it from a normal webinstall or local server - I would be glad to test it.
Thanks again.
