(...) Aha! -- I see now. Thanks. OK, whew, I thought this might be a browser bug with it not handling <BASE HREF=...> correctly. Fortunately, it's my own boneheaded mistake and therefore easily fixable. About 5 days ago I realized that the HTML on (...) (26 years ago, 9-Nov-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
