Yes Pico, that stuff is newer. OliG has a reference to:
phpwcms_fckeditor.php (in ../include/inc_lib/fckeditor.editor.inc.php)
yet it is not present in release 123. I think this might account for errors when using it in newsletter section (not sure). My other problem I did resolve, based on what I suspected was a subdirectory path issue.....so for right now staying with 122.
Thanks for the tips on CSS editor, works nice.
