*giggles* Hacks are cool.  Thx mucho James.  I'll try your idea &/or
ndiscreets.  Not sure which yet will yield better results.  

As an aside, any chance someone can point me to a "newbie-fied" apache
install/maintenance URL?  I'm pretty useless with HTML/web
stuff...having never tried it, but am a fast learner *Smiles*.  

Thx for all you guys' help!  I hope to get this working soon...lord

question. Heh, never underestimate the power of linux to make it complex
fast :)
