Hi Jed, and Mark,
I should have prefaced the original subject line with OT Off Topic.
I think that would have resolved the issue - except perhaps for a few
Vort purists. ;-). My apologies for not having doing so in the first
place.
Again, I want to thank several Vorts for the plethora of advice
Jed,
I downloaded XAMPP and eventually unzipped the contents onto a thumb drive.
I think running XAMPP on a thumb drive will make it possible to run my own
portable test server wherever I go.
I haven't run my own web server since the 1990s. I'm sure a lot of things
have changed since

For the record, the problems with the indexes turned out to be:
1. Use type INDEX not FULLTEXT. Ah.
2. Illegal mix of collations (ascii_general_ci,IMPLICIT) and

3. Some publisher names have single quotes in them, and some have regular

A WORD PRESS question for Jed,
I'm still reviewing the pros cons of using WORD PRESS. I'm
seriously leaning towards using it. It looks like my web host provider
supports it. Just about every provider does! WORD PRESS is very
popular.

That is because it takes only MySQL. Any ISP has that nowadays. The rest
