They end up slightly different. In your version, Jim, only the page
'browse.php' will examine the GET-parameter called 'letter'.
In Terion's version, any page with this code in it will examine the 'letter'
parameter.
Either one might be appropriate, depending on the context, but they don't have
quite the same effect.
