Sorry I tried sending the email once and it failed and the second time I 
forgot to attach the file.  It should be on this one :)

As for the file.  There are not CR in it.  I don't have any windows boxes at 
home so no notepad involved.  Plus my error when starting mythfrontend is 
"file not found" which makes me think something is looking for a file in the 
wrong place?
