I am using the default one I assume, I haven't installed another one, I 
think.

I will try and install rtehtmlarea if I havent already.

About support, I have become more then frustrated these past two months. 
  Out of numerous threads I have started, asking for some help on some 
problems, I have only gotten a couple replies, from probably only two 
people in total.  It gets frustrating, especially with such a system 
with a big learning curve.

I also notice that Typo3 wants to extent to a US market.  I have used 
other US born CMS' and I am myself a US citizen and I can tell you now 
that one of the most important things typo3 can do is to make their 
support more effective.  I know its free, but for one, I find this 
mailing list system very hard to use.  I had to download a mailing list 
program, subscribe, configure everything, download all the headers, and 
then post one question which sometimes goes unanswered.  This is not fun 
for someone who is used to real forums like phpbb or vbulliten.

Anyways, I am going to stop my rant here because this is not the place 
to do it.

Thanks for your help Francois.
