Thanks, this is the info I was looking for but not seeing anywhere. In
this case, my host has no problems setting the collections up for me,
but I was trying to save him some time/hassle seeing as I'm wandering
around in the dark here. And for future reference of course, as not all
shared hosting providers are as nice as mine.  (hi Erez, if you're
reading!)

Hmmm... That's what I thought might be the case, I am mixing data and
files here. However, if I can create multiple collections myself as I'm
now thinking I might be able to, that's probably a better way to go.
More efficient for re-indexing too, as only the changed collections need
to be updated.

That's more help than you probably realise, thanks!
