Bob,

I think PBWorks is currently configured so you have to be logged in to the 
system to be able to see the folders, etc. I was looking at David's GAL 
programmer earlier and couldn't see the folders until I logged in. I think 
there is another thread that has an administrative setting that has to be 
changed to allow public viewing.

Regards, Brian.
