And I'm afraid I don't even know what SWF is!

Doh!  Sorry.  I just realized it's System.Windows.Forms.

But I still don't see what I have to do to get around the problem.  A 
followed the link to the Johnson's website - but I don't see anything 
about a SWF tarball.

Are you all saying I have to completely recompile mono?  If so, what 
version do I need?

Sorry to be a pain.  I really want to learn this, but I'm finding it a 
bit hard to get started.  Once I've got a handle on it all, I'm sure 
I'll be fine.

Thanks for your patience.

Cheers

Peter
