Thanks - that makes it very clear - I was wondering whether I was
misunderstanding the help pages on what kinds of substitution are
allowed where.

Did that (but with the 3.1.5 patch - see previous message). It works
fine, and I'm very happy with it, so thanks to you both.
I have one pales-into-insignificance cosmetic comment : the appearance
of the *displayed* search result URLs I'm now getting is (just my 2p)
not quite as complete ("slick" ?) looking :
Kumquat Harvest Reports, 1994
/reports/harvests/kumquat-1994.html, ....
as it would be if the URL included the server name :
Kumquat Harvest Reports, 1994
http://www.ourserver.org/reports/harvests/kumquat-1994.html, ....
like it does with ht://dig out of the box.
I realise this is subjective, and hardly important.
Again, thanks very much for yours and Joe's help.
