Hey David
welcome aboard, I must say It sounds like your very close to success in this area and it may simply be the fact that core gave us a somewhat faulty script.bat proggi. now I'm not 100% clear on what you've done to make your own from scratch level (I.e. over write an existing level block in your script.txt or did you use the cut and paste method. I'll tell you what let's take it step by step and narrow down the problem. first get easylife.bat (by Colin Grigson) it's basically a revised version of script.bat only it actually works. (though keep in mined the error messages pertaining to several different languages can be ignored.) also note you will never need to open your ms.DOS prompt (the manual is giving you very outdated info on that) OK. so easylife will convert your English and script.txt and create script.dat, English.dat, and strings.h then it will move them into the correct folders for you. just find a post by Colin with a banner, and go to his tools page download, it and drop it rite in you're scripts folder. if you have an trouble you can also get it on my tools page.
let us know how you make out. I think if we take it step by step like this will have it worked out by the end of the day.
Good Luck! _ROB_

fist you need to have your pic on a web page. get one and upload your pic as a single file.
you have now created a new url for your pic that will look something like this. http://www.yourserver.com/yourname/yourpic.gif once that's done it's just a little HTML magic.
the code looks like this <IMG SRC="http://www.yourserver.com/yourname/yourpic.gif" border=0>
just paste your new url in between the quotation marks. the only reason you can see this code now is yet more HTML magic
hope this helps

P.S. if you want to learn HTML the best way in my opinion is to look at the source codes of your favorite
web sites. you can do this by clicking view at the top of your browser and selecting source
