Hi Matt,

Yes that is correct. A unique section name is generated based on the desctiptive name 
you 
enter, stripped of illegals. The section name is the section of the .ini where the 
settings are 
stored. The file names matches this one. That section name stays the same regardless 
of what 
the channel name is (or it if has one). You can read the archives of the whys that 
this is 
required, I probably won't explain it again. If someone asks a 2nd time, I'll put 
together a 
short FAQ though.

Sometimes those newspapers screw up their handheld site, so it might have just been on 
the 
blink.
You could try cranking it up to maxdepth=3 though. I forget if a server jump from 
http://www.smh.com.au/handheld 
to 
http://www.smh.com.au/handheld/
counts as a depth.

Best wishes,
Robert
