Thanks Steve. I think this shows different people learn best 
differently!  
I found the "Beginner's Guide" somewhere off
http:/www.demon.co.uk/index.html - under "tutorials." (I downloaded,
disconnected and printed the whole thing out). Doing it that way I found
it very useful - even though it meant I couldn't click on the links to see
the examples. On Demon's pages there is a good selection of tutorials which
seems to cover everything you could ever need to know.
Unlike you, when I tried looking at HTML pages (despite, perhaps because,
of years as a programmer - before I left to do something sensible instead)
they thoroughly confused me. Now - with the guide having pointed me in the
right direction - they make sense.
Forget the request for an HTML editor, because now I'm starting to get the
hang of using HTML - I don't think I'd like to give up control to some
program that thinks it knows what I'm trying to do!
