The tutorial is really helpful. I think you have to make sure you have
the proper version of Java. There is one older version it doesn't work
with. You need to set up that folder "work" as the directions tell you.

An easy way to see if it's working is to click on the "show the sites"
button on the tool bar that sits below the others and if you get a list
of web sites, it should be okay.

Also, go to the next to last button on the right that looks like a gear.
That's "options" click on that and uncheck the option for Living
Cookbook. If you don't do this you will get an error message. I couldn't
figure this out at first, but that's what you have to do.

Any other problems, go to the user forum at
http://recipetools.sourceforge.net/phpBB3/ for help or the Yahoo Group
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MastercookDiscussion/

Either place will get you any assistance you need. The sourceforge
site, I believe, has the install instructions.

I love my Recipe Fox. I even have a bookmark to the .jsn files.
