Additional Information

Thank you Dr. Eaglin. I can see that being very helpful in the future.

I tried it with you simple example on my GoDaddy Windows hosted account and only had one problem.

I had to change the line you had in your .shtml file to this:

Notice that is says to "file" rather than "virtual" like in your example. It works like I have it now, but I wanted to mention it to you to see if this causes trouble or is just the nature of the beast for Windows hosting... or something else.
