Thanks, on another newsgroup I found a link to a webpage which basically
describes what you said.  When I did though I could not see the connection
I'd setup as root.  I set it up again and it was fine.  I occured to me
afterwards that maybe I should have copied my /root/.kppprc to my home
directory or something like that.  NH
