 Thanks, Clear as mud.  But I guess I can work with it when I get around 
to opening up the relevant local config, editing it, then opening my ftp 
program, etc, etc.  Then to make it workable for all my sites, I'll have 
to do the same to about 5 or 10 other local configs. 

   I've been out of the programming loop for quite some time.  It is a 
lot of trouble to make this into a backgroundpage cookbook recipe that 
one might easily add to one's cookbook folders and then just add a 
single line to local config?
