Thank you very much Kurt -- With the exception of the path, that's exactly what I did. I don't have an "extras" text file -- I DO have the files you specified ... I'm puzzled too, these directions are simple. I'll try starting over and see what happens...the fact that it works by placing all the settings under the "extra" section tells me that the path and everything else is set up correctly.
