New info: when i change my site to one of the default themes it works, so it's something in my theme.  I'm a first time drupal theme developer so i suppose that's not terribly surprising.

Relevant notes about my theme:
I am including the following in my theme:
<?php print $styles ?>
<?php print $scripts ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php print base_path() . path_to_theme() ?>/global.js"></script>

so that should be  including any required drupal css and js
(p.s. - i'm sure there's a way to get my custom javascript into the scripts variable but i couldn't figure it out from the documentation and the themes that i downloaded that used javascript were all doing it this way.  i'd love to do it the proper way though)

my javascript isn't doing anything that should break these editors.  There's no styling in the css for textareas.  However there is this global css declaration - I've gotten into the habit of always setting this and then overriding when necessary because I've found it makes my life easier.  It's the only thing i can think of that might cause it, other than a block of php code i need to include that i'm not:
*{
  margin:0px;
  padding:0px;
  font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
  font-size: 12px;
  line-height:19px;
  color:#46403a;
}

specifically the margin and/or padding being set to 0 on textareas... I wouldn't think that would mess it up, but it's all i've come up with so far

I haven't done this with 5.2 but I'd been planning on upgrading.  I will do this and get back to you.  I'm a long time user of TinyMCE, so I ought to be able to figure this out quickly.

Subject: Re: [support] tinyMCE issue

Ok, having a simalar but not quite the same issue with fckeditor.  with fckeditor i can edit the admin options.  I realized with both that i have to enable them in roles so i did that.  I also tried uploading them into /modules instead of sits/all/modules/ but no change, still getting plain text in edit fields.  Any suggestions?  Drupal will be pretty much useless for me if I can't get wysiwyg working (even though i hate it myself, the client can't handle it otherwise).

and now for my own support question.  As my client is not html savvy, 
one of my early requirements is to get a wysiwyg editor working.  I 
chose tinyMCE as the first trial because I'm thinking IMCE will be a 
good add-on (although on second look it now also supports FCK so if I 
can't get an answer here i may just try that).  I downloaded the tinyMCE 
module official release 5.x-1.9, downloaded tinyMCE version 2.1.1.1 and 
put it in the directory as specified and uploaded it.  I enabled the 
module in admin but it didn't show up.  Figured I had to configure it so 
went to the tinyMCE configuration page but that page is blank.  I'm on 
drupal 5.2 and I noticed the note (or copy the TinyMCE files into the 
module's includes folder for the 5.2 users) but there is no includes 
folder in the version i downloaded. 

Does anyone know whether I should create the includes folder or have to 
download the dev version (always should be a last option in a production 
site of course), if i need a different version of tinyMCE or some other 
issue I might be having?
