I have found BL3 has things in different places to what the how-to pages 
suggest.  That is why I asked here.   I will start reading those pages 
anyway.

BL1 by comparison had everything named the same as the how-to pages 
suggested, as well as great documentation inside the config files 
themselves.  I had no trouble setting up BL1 without any help.   I thought 
BL3 would be the same, but ended up needing lots of help with it.  Which I 
am grateful for.

I hope you don't think me a fool.  Everyone has to start somewhere.

Thank you for the help, it is always appreciated.

Carl.
