I'll look into that for possible future use. I'm not as familiar with the .htaccess file as I probably should be, and this gives me an angle of attack for teaching myself more. I got in touch with the webhost. It turns out that the way I was trying to do it should have been working, but something was misconfigured on the server. Darn them. So now it's all working. I appreciate the advice and suggestions from the list, and learned some things even if it turned out that they weren't relevant to the exact problem at hand (which was: it should work, but the webhost screwed something up). Someone actually sent me a message off-list (by accident?) stating that he was doing exactly the same thing I was trying to do, and it was working for him, so it should be working for me. He was right. I think that pretty much sums it up. -- Chad Perrin [ CCD CopyWrite | http://ccd.apotheon.org ] "There comes a time in the history of any project when it becomes necessary to shoot the engineers and begin production." - MacUser, November 1990 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
