Thanx Balinor,
I did as you suggested and commented out that bunch of code however the add to wishlist button and option is still appearing on my web site when I am logged in as a customer on the products pages and featured products pages which I DO NOT WANT
I will paste here my buy_ now.tpl so you can see if I have done anything wrong or if I should in fact comment out something else as well
Having said all of that I was about to paste a copy of my buy_now .tpl here to you and I noticed that further down in the tpl there was indeed another section that was coded exactly the same so I commented out that as well and
HEY PRESTO IT WORKED!!! 
So yet another small thing I have sorted out on my site in order to get things working how I think they should,
No doubt I will be posting yet another small obvious issue here in this forum but for me sometimes these are not so obvious and I have my reasons why I want things to be changed
Thanx for your reply and advice
Kirsten
