[Jim & Mary Folsom]

Thank you so much for these suggestions.

I did create another user account, login to it, and see if the  
problem occurred. I put one of my website folders into the shared  
users' folder, created a new user account for testing, logged out of  
my account, and logged into the new account. WebDesign functioned  
perfectly in the new account. I tested it on a couple of website  
folders.

That should mean that the problem is somewhere in the settings in my  
home folder. I logged back into my regular user account, trashed the  
preferences folder for WebDesign, and tried it again. Same problem of  
the includes repeating. Since I am the main account for the computer,  
does this mean that there is some other file somewhere else on the  
computer, that I can't get to, related to WebDesign? (besides the  
com.ragesw.webdesign.plist and the WebDesign Preferences folder)  
Spotlight doesn't show me anything else.

I didn't find anything in the main library. Thanks for any info  
anyone can provide.

Mary
