ok....
found the answer...

there are more files in skin1 on the website than in the unzipped package...

so...

how i fixed this issue:

issue: adjusting the size of the font for the categories list in 4.31

downloaded my installed website to the local hard drive, and then searched on .menu-categories-list

it showed up in two files..

main.css - where i kept changing the font pixels but it never took... and....

most importantly...

altskin.css where i changed the font size in pixels from 15 to 9 and the change worked.

so to reiterate...

the installed xcart has more files in various directories than the just unzipped package.

if you cant find what you are looking for, make sure you are searching a downloaded copy of your website.

thanks again for everyones help.

now to my next issue...

getting first class to work properly.....
