Thanks, Thomas. I'm beginning to see the light. The inline comments verify
what I have almost decided is right. You folks are very helpful. Don't know
how you keep doing it. Again, thanks.

: Unless you are hosted on a Windows IIS web server, stick with all
lowercase file and folder names,

separate files, whereas
