Thanks Jim

That gets me pointed in the right direction

... little browsers... on the desktop... little browsers, made of
ticky-tacky...

(paraphrasing an old Malvina Reynolds song)

I was trying to figure out what the webserver (apache) connector was
doing.

But these little browsers are OK -- they (should) have access to the
file system and some have a window & can be made double-clickable

Thx

Dick
