Thanks. Will give this a try. I kept running into the problem that
paths are different than described but even re-creating it as per
paths shown in various posts didn't help. This is really stupid of
GIMP. I'm the persevering sort but came close to just wa****ng my
hands of this app. As it stands, it's pretty good but I much prefer
PSP. But if I can get the help files working, I can give this a good
try. It's learning the new terminology and where everything is which
is why the help files are so im****tant.
Thanks.
