I may try this. It looks like the problem is that the files are in the wrong
place. I am going to try to fix this problem, but I may use your idea. You have
tried it and it works? I am not that familiar with Java, but may be able to
figure out enough to get this working. Also, in response to nanobapt's idea, I
think I am going to hold off on that idea for now. I tried downloading the
program, but it was too big for my computer. I was also somewhat unsure of what
it did. Thanks for all the help though,
Katie
