Thanks A. I was able to find my dumb typo/logic error this morning. Thanks
for making me aware of the file_get_contents and file_put_contents
functions. I like to make my code as concise as possible.

Incidentally ... I am using single backslashes on the (Windows) command line
to specify file names and somehow that seems to be working fine. I'm using
PHP 5.3.

Thanks again,

Bob
