Thanks cwd, I will take a look tomorrow. The last few hours, i
have been messing about with the idea in

http://kalsey.com/2003/07/rounded_corners_in_css/

which I found via Google!

I have it working withe colours I want and after all that, I am
wondering if I really want rounded corners for the particular
design I am working on! But I will for sure want this from time
to time. I picked the one I did because I understood it! Which is
more than I can say for the gymnastics of some of the css ones I
have seen. But it is early days for me in this.
