Roger,

I ran the User Guide program on the NX430 CD but I think all it did was
just a repeat of the original install, which put a Desktop Icon and a
entry in Start - All Programs to run a script to go to the internet
address you mentioned below.

RN>OUCH! (see above)

I had a reply the other day from Tom Walker in the WIN95 echo about
this, so I went to Epsons NX430 UG page and Saved the Index.HTML file
and then I Saved it again as Index2.HTML.

This time I noticed there was a Index Directory and a Index2 Directory
made.

I ran the Index.HTML file with the results being the same as before -
it couldn't find some file it needed.

I told Tom I'll look at the files in the Index directory and see if I
could figure out what 'it' needed changing to make it work, that is IF I
COULD FIGURE IT OUT, and I'd get back to him what I'd found out.

DUH!, I forgot all about saying that yesterday and now it's late here
and I don't expect to get to doing it until after Monday.

I guess I'll have to write a(nother) ROUNDTUIT note and put it on the
keyboard so I can see it, to remind me to do that.

I'll post my reply here too, Roger.
