message | Hi David,
| Am I reading this right?
| You want your site to appear in the centre of the browser window instead
of
| at the left which is usualy the case?
| I find it hard to accept that you would be unable to do this, which is why
I
| am having doubts that it is actually what you are describing.
| IF IT IS the problem, I have a method which I'm too embarressed to detail
| right now because of the above mentioned doubts.
| Let me know.
| The Hat Man.
