Steve:
Hoo Ha! That just about does it!
As you suggested, I downloaded the free Maguma IDE. I told it where the
php.exe was, and set it to associate with .php extensions.
Now I can click on any .php file, and the Maguma IDE comes up with the
code. Hit F5 and I've got the output in my Browser window.
Without a local server! Now all I have to do is learn to program in
PHP!

Thanks!
Harvey
