WHOO-HOOO!!! So far, it was good to go on the first try! 

357 Element Types
679 Elements
1305 Entitites
(/me ***grinning*** from pride)

I've read your KDE Docbook Authoring Guide two times full through. So 
hopefully i can retain some of the information. We'll see?! ;)

Yikes!!! Unfortunately, this is the what i am trying to do. The application in 
question is the 'Osiris Host Integrity System'. It is similiar to Tripwire 
but works under a client/server model.

I have been doing various work getting it going good --- building rpm's, 
making man pages, docs, YaST2 client interface etc.......

I'd like to get it(documentation) included in the khelcenter/susehelp 
interface if I could. I realize you are a very busy person; so i'll 
understand if you don't have time to help a KDE doc newbie! 

;) Thanks for your help Lauri!!!
Thomas
