Working the way I am for right now is due to my lack of knowledge of cvs
from the start.  What I will do soon is get up to speed with cvs and then
compare your 2.8 to my 2.8 modified with my compare tools.  I will then move
all of my changes into a newly checked out cvs 2.9.  Afterward I can send
you my modified 2.9, the 2.9 diff or whatever I'm supposed to do.

I tried the demo help again and cannot find the issue anywhere.  I'm
confused about whether you agreed that it would be good to cut various
sections of the manual and put them into the online help.  It seemed like
the best and quickest way to get some help in there everywhere.  If so, it's
what I plan on doing soon on my copy.

Could it be a setting in Konqueror that causes the drop-down menu not to
work?  Can you take a look at http://www.infocentral.org/demo/Default.php
and let me know if the menus there work with those browsers?  The javascript
code for them is somewhat different and possibly better.  For sure normal
menus will be default.  User must switch their setting to activate drop-down
menus
