no signature hash?

I'm looking to switch over from Paypal Website Payments Standard to Paypal Express, on the repeated good advice of Dr Byte on this forum. I'm trying to follow the instructions here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=15

I logged into paypal and have successfully retrieved my api username and api password. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to view my signature hash. It doesn't seem to be written anywhere, there's no link to get to it, etc.

Is there a way for me to find out what it is?

Thanks for your time.

Re: no signature hash?

Sounds like you probably selected a Certificate instead of a Signature.

You can get quick support for your difficulties in using PayPal's website by contacting PayPal Support directly.

Right you are. Paypal customer service actually did the trick- there were two api certificates on my account somehow & that's what caused the trouble. They were even quick & responsive! All fixed & switched over.
