Could someone direct me to where I can learn how to create an outline box around content, like in this forum?

I am not sure exactly what you are looking for but you may want to consider a border using CSS. Check out this link to w3c http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_border.asp.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think it's probably easier than this though.....I'm just looking for an outline exactly the same as the outline around this text now, in this forum...Each node is in a rectangular box, I want to create this....

Do you how I would do this....?

That IS the easy answer.
For the result you see here, the rule is something like:

.comment{
border:1px solid black;
}

For node content, it's .node, not .comment. Probably, depending on the theme you've chosen.

... rounded corners however still take some CSS skillz. Don't ask if you're not going to try a bit harder.
To learn more, get the firefox developer toolbar and 'inspect element'

Thanks again for your help. I am a newbie, and my learning curve is pretty high right now. Getting there however, is a good adventure....

I´ll give this a try.
