I see why you sent this to me sted the list. In case anyone would try to
read this with Arachne, we don't want the script-start and script-end tags
and other less-than symbols messing things up. So I cleaned up the quotes
above to be sure that won't happen.
As usual, you are correct, and I appreciate it. I deleted the less-than
symbol within the script, and then Arachne was able to display the page.
