  I finally got that one working..don't ask me how because I am still not sure
how :)

  That was my first problem ..I could see the entry (I had put it in by hand
(Gawd XML is a pain )) but it didn't work.

A second attempt was to use the omb-moz module which comes with the editor - it
found the directory I had passed on the command line but couldn't find the
browser. I dunno but I think the whole system, while versatile and powerful is
not user-friendly :) To me it's not clear goes where and what must be quoted and 
what need not be quoted :)

Thanks for your help
