thank you for taking the time to try and help out.
i thought the same thing and when i checked, endidx did contain a -1. this
is somewhat confusing since the spelling and case of the closing (</TITLE>)
tag is correct, i thought the slash might be throwing it off but since it's
a string i don't think that's it.
thanks again!
