I'm sure that's the case- I have plenty of memory too. My motive for asking had more to do with the fact that I'm just trying to get the basic setup working at all. I just thought it might be good to understand what what the different files were for. Now I understand that v2gnu/lgpp295b.zip library files are depreciated, and having used HTML and CSS I understand what that means. They might come in handy in some situations but for basic functionality they are not neccesary. Red
