Bruce,

Thanks for the response.  At this point I still consider myself a user, not a 
developer, otherwise I would do as you suggest.  It is a bit more commitment 
at this time than I can manage (for the next little while), and I was just trying 
to get it running.  I've found very little documentation, and just wondered if 
there was any that you could point me to, or perhaps (from this suggestion, I 
should start reading the code.)  

I've seen weird behavior like this from CLASSPATH settings, or other 
environment variable settings.  Is there somewhere that those requirements 
are listed??

 (I've read the .bat files for catalina.bat, but suspect that something more 
might be required. - or maybe there's a conflict as there is a lot else running 
under my tomcat.  Maybe that's the ticket - try to run a fresh tomcat with not 
much else in it and see what happens and then put other stuff back til it 
breaks if the initial one is okay.)

Thanks,

Bill
