Well, it's stupid oclock in the morning and I still haven't worked out 
how to add the extra bits from the gimp-registry, which is rather 
annoying as I've gone back to square one, and dug out all my back issues 
(back to no 38 when the gimp tutorials started), and I'm no clearer as 
to how to progress.

You'd have thought, that as the tutorials are supposed to be beginner 
level (especially in the earlier ones), then they'd have used examples 
with "stock gimp" tools, filters etc. They haven't. So much for not 
needing any prior knowledge !

Still, TVM for the html version of the cityscape Fay, I'll work through 
it again and see how I get on. I can remember most of what you explained.
