OK. I made Introduction a header, not a chapter. I'll have to fix that...

Sorry for not reading the earlier email more carefully.

Now I see it, all the way down on the bottom. Thanks for this, it does 
what I asked, but it seems a bit of a kludge in terms of usability for 
other contributors later on. I guess I was hoping for a clearer, more 
visually obvious solution, but hey, maybe I paid too much attention to 
my college web design instructors! They always said "Home = top left 
with a big, obvious button". I tend to agree with them, since this is 
how most (usable) websites operate and what most people expect.

Ditto with the viewing interface. This stuff isn't critical for me right 
now, as I'm working on the PD manual, but I do think it's necessary if 
we want to incorporate more people later on.

thx+best,
d.
