Woo Hoo! I think I've figured it out. I have it working in all cases
except the root "/" site (Home Page). Since *every* URL contains a '/' my
'Home' page gets selected *every* time. Hmmmm....I see that the
<r:navigation> source shows that it can do RegExp processing but I'm not
sure how to turn it on. I *LOVE* open source code, but my Ruby reading
abilities are pretty weak.
Thanx!
