Thank you
I was in a hurry because I am building a couple of websites for people 
and I needed to get it done.
Seamonkey is what I use to do the job.
I found a workaround by installing WINE and running the windows version 
of seamonkey.
However I will try your method right now. I would rather not have any 
windows programs on my computer.
Thanks
