  So would I; but I wouldn't always count on my remembering exactly
what case I typed the filename in in the first place. ;-) One of the
numerous benefits of being a college student is knowing the guys who

it worked *this* way instead..." Whatever. As long as people know
how to get where I was trying to get them to go, which is
'FAQ-acllc.html'. :)
