Thanks Chris, that worked. I'd already got the stylesheet in 'static', and 
inserting "/" was the key - should have thought of that.

Eprints2 will be interesting - from this and your earlier posts it sounds 
like you're doing a lot. Not sure that being able to configure style sheets 
for each browser is what I want, although I see the attraction. I suppose 
I'd rather browser producers got their own act together - I know, pigs 
might fly....

Cheers,

Bob Kemp
