Thanks for the quick reply!
Unfortunately it's still the same...
I tried deleting all of the HyperNext folders that were in my Documents folder including the two that I had copied in there from the installation disk (HyperNext Docs, and HyperNext Examples) as well as a folder entitled "first" that I had made while following the tutorials, and then did a fresh install but it doesn't seem to have made any difference...
also, I found the "show toolbar" but it still only seems to bring up the other two toolbar windows and not the bottom one, I've included a snapshot of what my screen looks like when I load up the program.
Thanks for helping me out, I'm really excited about hopefully being able to use this program!
