the development script i was looking at, which is part of the process described to use the language, sets up a number of paths and parameters, etc. maybe that's easier to look at now that i've had a break.
btw, following "exactly" sometimes gives different results than you expect. :) seems to me, i should be sitting here with someone who knows the ropes, than wasting all this time, making stupid mistakes, installing all sorts of things... sometimes you can download a tool, doublclick an icon and away you go. perhaps if i were a unix hacker, this would seem obvious and trivial as it seems to you. thanks for chipping in.
