OK, but it sounds really strange, since noone of those who answered to 
my question in the Danish Mac group could make it work - not even in 
10.6.x except they inserted the links again manually.

- I haven't had the time yet to upgrade to SnowLeopard, so I can't 
verify anything myself yet. I hope to do it during the Easter holidays, 
- but indeed it would be quite a lot easier, if it works, because it 
also will reduce the time I spend when making the documentational files 
for the multimedia CDs/DVDs I'm making.:-)

Cheers, Erik Richard
