Many thanks for your thoughtful reply. Very much appreciated.
It does provide me with the name of the documents that are rarely
accessed.

Good point, something I had not thought of.

For some 6+ years, I've been maintaining two web sites, one
containing 300+ files consuming 6 megs <www.amica.org>, and the
other containing 700+ files consuming 19 megs <www.taxi-l.org>.
The former is graphics intensive, while the latter is largely
official reports.
When I got started, the automatic html generators were not yet
born, so like most, I learned basic html coding to apply to various
reports sent to me from all over the world, most often in paper
form needing to be OCR scanned. As a consequence, most of my
web documents are reasonably lean.
I've always been concerned about excessive coding that the
automatic html generators produce. The worst offender I found
was/is Microsoft Word saveas html. It generated mammoth files,
while Microsoft FrontPage did a somewhat better job, but still not
as lean as basic html coding.
Similarly, I learned to try hard to convert graphics to compressed
.jpg. Unfortunately, I didn't learn about this until around mid-
point, so a namber of graphics are still in somewhat larger
uncompressed sizes.

Here I obviously had finger trouble. I had a preconceived notion
that since I wanted to know all file names, then I needed a FLOOR
command associated with FILES. Thanks for the redirection in my
perception to REQUEST
