Thanks for explaining Chris.  It helps to know why those were showing up ../
all the time and the 20 percent etc..

Judith on the list recommended WebMonkey also and I worked with a tutorial
from there last night.  I think I got pretty far in it.  I need to tackle
tables next.  There is alot to learn I know.  I had heard that Dreamweaver
was better than FP.  I think our professor recommended FP thinking it would
be easiest for now, he also recommended one more that I did use but cannot
recall the name now.  The course I am in does not teach HTML.
