The problem may be due to the fact that my environment is Apache Unix. I spent about two hours today pouring over the php on-line manual "include" spec and trying dozens of combinations. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php
There must be at least 20 user contributed notes at the bottom. It is incredible that such a basic php function should be so obtuse and ill defined. I'm going to give your other suggestion a try tomorrow. Thanks again....
