Paul,
aah...thanks for reminding me. I had forgotten that the www server is
NOT a part of the Nokia OS.
It turns out that I had, in fact, installed a 3rd party www server,
known as nginx, originated by Igor Sysoev. A version of that www server
was packaged for the Nokia 770/800 OS's by Santtu Lakkala who is an
active contributor to maemo and the maemo-developers list. I have copied
him on this response.
Here is the url to a blog entry by Santtu that provides an installer
file fo nginx.
http://inz.fi/blog/2007/01/26/nginx-http-server-and-install-files/
here is the url to the www site that has the generic (not Nokia
specific) LInux .tar
http://nginx.net/
here is the url to a www site called codemogers.com that has a wiki for
nginx.
http://wiki.codemongers.com/
and here is the nginx author, Igor's, www site where he maintains the
source and object code for nginx:
http://sysoev.ru/en/
Since there is documentation at the wiki I will take a look there to see
how to locate the www site file tree in the N800 instance of nginx.
I should mention that there seems to be some consideration given, the
efficiency of nginx for static www pages, to using ngnix as a foundation
www server for Ruby on Rails development projects. Here is the url to a
discussion on that topic from someone who works with ROR
http://mywheel.net/blog/index.php/2007/01/26/hosting-ruby-on-rails-lighttpd-apache-mongrel-webrick-litespeed-and-ngnix/
and some commentary relating to nginx. Note in the post below that the
poster has misspelled (i.e. reversed the i and the x) the name of the
software, nginx. I suspect this is because people are used to the suffix
*nix and perhaps sometimes misread it as I did when I first saw the word.
It's all about Russia, stupid
And then, when everyone had already settled down with a nice,
reliable and fast solution for serving Ruby, ngnix
<http://sysoev.ru/nginx> comes into town. ngnix
<http://sysoev.ru/nginx> is a wholly fast web server that serves
static files in a breeze. And also does load-balancing. Got the
point? Serving Mongrel instances through ngnix
<http://sysoev.ru/nginx>. ngnix <http://sysoev.ru/nginx> is chiefly
developed by russians and English documentation is still lacking so
if you need assistance to get started check this post

Hmm.. Mine doesn't appear to have a webserver installed by default.
Sure you didn't install thttpd or similar[1]?
A good way to find what you're looking for might be to search the n800
for html files:
in xterm
$ sudo gainroot
# find / | grep -i [.]html

Paul,
no, I am talking about the www page that gets served to a browser
when I connect to the N800 via the TCP/IP stack over TCP port 80.
Right now the www page is a simple html script as follows:
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome to nginx!</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white"
text="black">
<center><h1>Welcome to nginx!</h1></center>
</body>
</
html>
I want to find the file directory containing this file in the
filesystem and replace the file with my own www site directory
(static pages only).
I eventually plan to install a more powerful www server, thttpd,
that has been discussed by others on this list, but for now I am
hoping that what is already installed in the standard N800 OS in
terms of html page serving capability will be sufficient to serve
www pages like the one above.

All,
I would like to replace the dummy www page (ngnix) on the N800
Are you talking about the home screen applet?
