Most likely. But this is a product others are using. I would imagine
with the same releases as I am using. Aside from this (and a PHP thing)
all else seems to be working. It may turn out to be a show stopper as I
want to demonstrate a multi-lingual site, including local content.

Any, thanks. I guess I will keep an eye out for other's with the same
problem or wait for an update. (Being a Tcl-er is not helping here...)
