Thanks, Todd. After a good deal more searching, I found this reference: http://www.webreference.com/programming/ssi/intro/
This confirms what you have said below. I'll have to check with my ISP to see if SSI is included in my package. In any event, given that it is a server directive, I will be unable to locally test my pages, or at least the includes, unless I set up IIS or PWS and point the browser to the local server. I've already got IIS set up over on my Win2000 partition, so I may do that.
