Just wanted to thank the various people who answered my question.  Thanks
to you I discovered that "makecat simple" got me started.  It allowed me
to replace default images with my own and to actually insert a table onto
one page... Well, actually it showed up on other pages, too.  Not too sure
yet what I'm doing, but at least I'm doing something and can improve on
that with time. Thanks for the help.
