OK, I'll look into that.  I've downloaded it.  I presume that when I unpack 
and install it it will be reasonably self-evident how to use it.  I do have 
time to play around a little.  It will probably be a week or two before 
decisions are made.

I know that's mainstream.  I can't really afford the time for a steep learning 
curve unless it's absolutely essential.

Yes, I've used some of these.  They tend to produce rather bloated code, but 
it can be tidied up a bit at the end.  OTOH, the outgoing webmaster has used 
Dreamweaver - and a fairly old one, I'd guess - and I'm not so sure that that 
produced neat code either :-)
