Rounding the corners of a rectangle
Windows 7 64 bit 8GB RAM
Inkscape .48.5 R10040
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.
Jon and Tommy,
Thanks for the help, we got now! <G>
