Is there anywhere that makes sense out of the 2 parallel directories you refer to?, to a newby it's mindboggling!

You should look to /includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php and, if that file's not yet present, copy /includes/languages/english/index.php and make your edits in the template-override directory.

Thanks lat9, no such file present that I could find, what do you mean by by copying the above directory and then using it in a 'template-override directory' - what/where is that?

If you haven't chosen a template yet, I'd suggest that you do that first (it'll be a lot easier). Look in the Plugins area for "Templates"; there are a bunch of very nice ones that you can adapt to your needs.
There is only one template there, it seems to be the original one "Classic Contemporary Green", is it so bad a one that it must be abandoned?

I took your hint above, found the same file in the other parallel (non admin) directory, opened it in Cyberduck, changed a couple words in the Greeting Heading, backloaded it, and voila! it erased the Entire page, with only text left from a Dreamwever test I did yesterday.

It is not right that a generous soul like yourself should be hand-holding beginners such as me - who'd rather do their homework and be independent anyway, may I repeat what I posted before?, in case it was missed:
"All this begs the question 'Where is there an actual Beginners Guide to learning Zencart'? It is not the 450 page zencart manual I bought, nor on the Zencart site, nor any of the 6 different Youtube Zencart tutorial Authors I have explored - All these presume I know/understand way more that I do.
Thanks much again!
