Gary,
I got it to work last night!!!!!! I found a thread yesterday that explained it very well. I can't find the thread right now, but I will bring in the print off tomorrow and retype it for you.
I will keep looking some today.
It does work and works great!! In the mean time, I recommend you get the actions on this page, they are great and free. I will probably make a donation for them because they are so good.

On the Snap Actions. I believe that when I ran the setup file it put a snapactions.exe file in the Photoshop directory (may be burried in one of the sub directories). If you can find it, you need to run it and you will get the snap actions window. You don't have to be in Elements at this point. When you get the window, you select each item on the left and then the arrow key in the center to transfer them to the right pane. Then you hit the generate key in the upper right hand corner. Then fire up Elements. At that point look in the upper right hand corner (where the layers and other panels are and select the How To pane) This will have the snap actions menu in it. I think you can go from there.

When you download other actions you have to read the readme files and move them into the appropriate directories. Then you have to run the snapaction.exe file again. You can create your own categorie then move up one level on the left to get the actions active in the left panel. Then on the right panel select the category you want to put them in. Then move the actions with the arrow key into the category. Hit the generate key again. Then fire up elements again. They should be there.

I will post the real instructions tomorrow. Good luck!!! It does work and the actions are great.
