I think you might be right and getting to the bottom of it looks looks like it'll take a lot longer than I was counting on spending right now, so I think I'll have to suspend this till I have more time to spend on it. I didn't intend to install so many packages, and now that I have done so accidentally, I haven't found an easy way to go back to the default installation, but if there is a way without starting over from scratch I'd be interested in a pointer to any documentation on it. And your English seems near perfect to me. I wouldn't have known your weren't a native speaker if you hadn't let on. Thanks for your help and others who have helped also.
