Amen!! It's always helpful to understand the structure, the hierarchy, the functional organization of some large and complex mechanism you're using or are involved with -- even if you have no intention of messing with individual components, or should actively avoid attempting to mess with them. > 2) What happens when a style sheet is installed - is it just placed > somewhere in the filestore? Amen, again -- where I take this particular (and rather minor point) as just one illustration of the generalization in Item 1 > 3) Editing a style sheet seems too much like editing a notebook - > which leads to confusion as to what can and cannot be done. Actually, this may be a useful technique -- if you're specifically told, "To modify what a stylesheet will do to all the cells having a certain cell style, in notebooks that use this stylesheet, **find the cell in the stylesheet itself that has that style and hand-edit its style**". (Is that, more or less, how it works? Seems to be . . .)
