OK!

Here's what worked, for the benefit of other non-html, non-php,
non-apache admins out there (must be some, right?):

1) I set index.php back to the <a href=...>img=...</a>, and as before,
this caused the me to unable to ever reach the wiki.  Clicking the
image just refreshed the screen.

2) Then I changed my .htaccess file.  It did read

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([A-Z].*) /index.php?n=$1 [L,qsappend]
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php [L,qsappend]

and I changed that to

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([A-Z].*) /pmwiki.php?n=$1 [L,qsappend]
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php [L,qsappend]

(actually, I first changed both instances of "index.php" to
"pmwiki.php", and that made no difference.  Then tried just one (the
wrong one) set to index.php, and finally this is the one that works)

Now when I go to http://company.com/wiki, I get the splash screen, but
when I go to http://company.com/wiki/Main, I get the wiki.

PERFECT.

Thanks all, as always, for helping out a novice.
