Any assistance would be appreciated. O&DoI>>Thanks, Friend, I think that you are in WAAAAYYYY over your head! First of all, I strongly suggest that you find a different way to connect to the Internet. Even (uuuggghhh!) AOHell is better than webtv! You can access AOL from anywhere in the country (and perhaps the world?) WebTV is just too limited in its capabilities to do very much. If you are going to use InterChange, you need to find a different web page server than Tripod, Geocities, or any other free hosting service. An InterChange Server needs to be set up on the server, and in most cases, needs root access to get it going. You will need to pay someone to host your store. While you can probably struggle along with getting your pages updated, and do your system work via FTP, it's going to be laborious and very time consuming. Having shell access into the server speeds this process up dramatically. If the question in your mind at this very moment is "What is shell access?", then you need to go to Barnes & Noble, Borders Books, Amazon.com, etc and buy the book "Unix For Dummies", or "Linux Or Dummies". Interchange is powerful stuff! My business has grown dramatically since I put it on-line. While it is cheap, it sure ain't easy! -= Jim =- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jim's Linux-Operated Underground Bomb Shelter Tagline for Thursday, July 12, 2001 at 18:10 PM: A diplomat thinks twice before saying nothing. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This Linux System has been up 71 hours My web page: http://www.idk-enterprises.com ----------------------------------------------------------------
