A friend of mine is using Inkscape for the first time and cannot get rounded corners on the outside edge of a rectangle. Selecting the round join in Stroke style gives a rounded corner, but the radius of the corner is far smaller than desired.

I have a Mac, and very little experience with Inkscape also. I can't get a larger radius either.

How do we do this?

I believe that using the rectangle tool should get you nice control over corners.

The built in "Shapes" tutorial (under "Help|Tutorials|Inkscape: Shapes") should cover the basics of how to use the handles to get the curves you need.
