I backed out my changes, and the code does not work as it used to. I
made several (very minor) changes to the code (correcting spelling
errors in the text, etc.) to see that my "restored version" was being

Seems I have to start looking at my Web environment and such, as has
been suggested. <sigh...>
Thanks to all for your help!
