Thought I'd reply to both Craig and the list, just to bring closure to the
issue.

Actually, the problem wasn't in the .properties files themselves, it was
where they were located; I had them in the top-level directory, instead of
in the WEB-INF directory. Once that was established, my "index.html" file in
my custom webapp worked perfectly, as it did when I created a simple
"index.html" file in the examples directory, as Craig described above.
Once again, the issue was with the user, not the software. :)

Also for the record, this was JSWDK 1.0 final release, Linux (RH 5.2), and
the Blackdown JDK 1.2-pre3 release, although, as Craig noted, it didn't make
any difference in getting everything to work.
Thanks, Craig, for your assistance.
