Again, thank you!
I uninstalled and reinstalled (easily! very impressive), and I seem to be still lacking some procedural knowledge about the use of themes and templates. I am still trying to put our site navigator column on the left side, and reduce the forum width so that both the forum and the navigator column fit on every page, every time.
I created my theme as test1. However, there is a place in the theme editor to give a name to the theme in addition to the name test1, so I gave it the name test_one. This latter name seems to show up in the profile list.
I went into the non-browsable folder, found the thm folder, selected the test1 theme, and went to the tmpl folder to find the header.tmpl and footer.tmpl files.
I am encouraged, because in the header file, I reduced the table width from 100% to 75%, and the forum files actually display narrower, with room for the navigator information. However, the navigator is not showing.
Here are the operative lines from that file:

<?php
include 'pre.txt';
?>
<table width="75%" border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="5"><tr><td class="ForumBackground">
{MAIN_SECTION: END}

Will this "include" function simply drop the html lines from my pre.txt file into the page file at this point? Evidently not, but the php documentation says that is what it will do. Where will this pre.txt file have to be placed in order to be included?
In the same folder with the header.tmpl?, in the browsable folder?
