Thanks, yes that fixed it. I used the control panel -> KDE components ->
file associations to move konqueror up into first choice for
displaying .html.
Either the upgrade to 3.5.6 had changed this, or konqueror 3.5.5 did not
need to be set first, because it had worked before without me adjusting
anything i.e. if I was in file browser mode and clicked on a .html page
on my disk, konqueror would open it as a webpage automatically.
thanks
