Did you get the "User Install required..." message when you tried to start Starwriter? Please quote the exact messages you saw; I expect it would have been: User Install required before swriter3 can be run, please wait... <some error relating to setup failing> Can't find initialisation script ~/.sd.sh, User Install must be completed before swriter3 can be run. If you aren't seeing this, you're not running the right swriter3. If you are, we need to work out why the setup program's not being run. > This time I get: > > /usr/home/mark/.sd.sh: 1: Syntax error: newline unexpected > > I checked through the sd.sh script, but it looks OK to me. It's not. You have copied the unsubstituted template. Please follow the instructions; they ought to work. 8) > Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
