Well, I didnot mean to star a war, but at any rate, according to the instruction files (.htm) that came with the build that I downloaded from ohussian, you have to re-name step.rc to somethign like step_back.rc, then paste in the step.rc file that comes with your theme. I have a hunch this was my problem.

Also, the 'lite xp' theme that I downloaded did not show up in LSTS.

I want to thank all of your for your help. I'm a newbie here, and you guys treat newbies well!
