Thanks JT, "Interchange is not for the faint of heart." "4.1 Generally it is a waste of time to try to use Interchange without shell access." Seems to be a package by host programmers for use by host programmers, not intended for typical store owners / web designers. My experience is with HTML, FTP, MySQL Database Manager, no shell, so I'd better quit.
