Re: Scripting

["Randall C. O'Reilly" <oreilly@grey.colorado.edu>]

1. The Edit function does not work in windows -- you'll just have to
   pull it up in the windows text editor, but call it .css and not
   .txt.

2. the error means that your environment wasn't properly created --
   look on the line with the .environments.New(1) or some thing like
   that for the likely source of the problem.
