Thanks. Several of my .sws files gave me errors when I tried to upload them - is there any compatability requirements for that - e.g. having the same version of sage or sage directory? Its also possible that I saved those worksheets on a Windows machine and then moved them over to my OS X laptop.
One suggestion I have arising from my problems is that the documentation for the show command be improved. It is a very important function for most users.
