 I found this code in a file called 
tk_redemption_free/layouts/template.config.php

And there already is a "custom.css" file there.  Do you think this is where I should add another
$this['asset']->addFile('css', 'css:mycss.css');

And I should add it just before the print.css statement?

What do you think of adding my css overrides to the end of the existing custom.css and then moving that
$this["asset']   statement down to just before the print statement?  or is that likely to screw up?

Here is the code from the tk_redemption_free/layouts/template.config.php  file:

// load css
$this['asset']->addFile('css', 'css:base.css');
$this['asset']->addFile('css', 'css:layout.css');
$this['asset']->addFile('css', 'css:menus.css');
$this['asset']->addString('css', implode("\n", $css));
$this['asset']->addFile('css', 'css:modules.css');
$this['asset']->addFile('css', 'css:tools.css');
$this['asset']->addFile('css', 'css:system.css');
$this['asset']->addFile('css', 'css:extensions.css');
$this['asset']->addFile('css', 'css:custom.css');
if (($color = $this['config']->get('color1')) && $this['path']->path("css:/color1/$color.css")) { $this['asset']->addFile('css', "css:/color1/$color.css"); }
if (($color = $this['config']->get('color2')) && $this['path']->path("css:/color2/$color.css")) { $this['asset']->addFile('css', "css:/color2/$color.css"); }
if (($font = $this['config']->get('font1')) && $this['path']->path("css:/font1/$font.css")) { $this['asset']->addFile('css', "css:/font1/$font.css"); }
if (($font = $this['config']->get('font2')) && $this['path']->path("css:/font2/$font.css")) { $this['asset']->addFile('css', "css:/font2/$font.css"); }
if (($font = $this['config']->get('font3')) && $this['path']->path("css:/font3/$font.css")) { $this['asset']->addFile('css', "css:/font3/$font.css"); }
$this['asset']->addFile('css', 'css:style.css');
if ($this['config']->get('direction') == 'rtl') $this['asset']->addFile('css', 'css:rtl.css');
$this['asset']->addFile('css', 'css:print.css');

 
Thanks everyone for the helpful suggestions.

The one for your template

ie

path-to-site- /template/index.php

the css is

path-to-site- /template/css

Make sure it calls your custom css last.
Look at the index.php file, you will see the other css's listed
    there.
