Thanks for your continued support, however, I have tried as you have advised
with the HTML Editor, and this has made no difference.

As soon as I click on a web page file, I get the 'Open with' dialog box,
and there is sod all I can do with it!
FrontPage is not listed, and I cannot get it in the list.

BTW, the files are showing the correct icon for FrontPage.
