Thank you, thank you, thank you....  donke schone.

The first time I loaded the page I got a signal11 error message and 
scribus crashed. However, on the next try it loaded fine. I resaved 
under a second name to be sure.

I don't think I would have caught the N in line 414... but I'll have a look.

I still can't compile the latest Scribus release in SuSE 9.2 even though 
the ./configure says everything is rosy(I sent this into the forum a 
week or so and got no relies). I think it may have something to do with 
the YOU rpms and the new kernel. I will try compiling on my Fedora Core3.

thanks again.... Tom (in Canada)
