[ic] Install I have telnet?? not so easy...

[Tammy]

Thanks for your words of wisdom Jim.

I am here because I have clients who want to run shopping on the websites I
design for them. I read the install instructions, and really thought this
program was designed for people who could read, and follow instructions.
Maybe I am wasting my time here if this is not the case!

I will take your advice, and in the mean time, I will keep plugging away,
maybe I will surprise myself!

- oh yeah, and for my day job.. .. I drive a CRANE, so I know what ya mean!
