Davespod - I'll try to restrain myself and do what you've suggested - you're correct that I like to "just dive in" as I usually do with most things, esp. on computer.

Ratfink, thanks for the help - I did have that box checked, but still no map comes up - the area where the map should show remains blank. When I later go to [View], I can call up a map, but that map won't show in "My Settings" view for some reason. So far I've tried this in Firefox and in IE 8.
