+    <title>A Note on Text Editors</title>
+    There are many text editors and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)
+    that you can use to create, edit and manage PHP files. A partial list of 
+    these tools is maintained at <ulink
+     url="http://www.itworks.demon.co.uk/phpeditors.htm";>PHP Editor's
+     List</ulink>. If you wish to recommend an editor, please visit the above
+    page and ask the page maintainer to add the editor to the list.

+    <title>A Note on Word Processors</title>
+    Word processors such as StarOffice Writer, Microsoft Word and Abiword are
+    not good choices for editing PHP files.
+
+    If you wish to use one for this test script, you must ensure that you save
+    the file as PLAIN TEXT or PHP will not be able to read and execute the
+    script.

+   <note>
+    <title>A Note on Windows Notepad</title>
+    If you are writing your PHP scripts using Windows Notepad, you will need
+    to ensure that your files are saved with the .php extension. (Notepad adds
+    a .txt extension to files automatically unless you take one of the
+    following steps to prevent it.)
+    
+    When you save the file and are prompted to provide a name for the file,
+    place the filename in quotes (i.e. "hello.php").
+
+    Alternately, you can click on the 'Text Documents' drop-down menu in the
+    save dialog box and change the setting to "All Files". You can then enter
+    your filename without quotes.
