Thanks for the quick reply Ruslan.  I have created the page and it is
displaying nicely.  The only problem now is that I cannot add any content to
the page.  I have looked at many different .html files in the surrounding
directories but I cannot seem to get any content to show.  I have copied
certain .html files (such as /Search/Simple.html, primarily because it
"simply displays text") and have experimented with removing bits of content
piece by piece (such as the code for the search box and button), but the
original content still remains.  

At the risk of sounding extremely dense how can I get my content to display? 
I eventually want the page to show the contents of a specific directory
stored locally on the same server (which I plan to do code from a php
module). But seeing how I cannot even get some plain text to appear when I
want it to, it would seem that would be the place to start.  Thanks,



P.S.  I have noticed many perl (I think they are perl) commands throughout
the .html files.  Some are preceded by the "%" character.  Is this the perl
equivalent of "commenting out code?"
