Dear Nick

Thanks for your instructions.

One thing to note is that if you use spaces in file names that you publish
to the web you have to replace the space with a %20 character in the URL so
that

http://astotts.customer.netspace.net.au/stottsvce/How to make a simple
game.doc

becomes

http://astotts.customer.netspace.net.au/stottsvce/How%20to%20make%20a%20simple%20game.doc

This makes for long and ugly URL's

I always people to avoid both capital letters and spaces in the names of any
files that are published to the web.

PS there is a free service at http://tinyurl.com/ that will take a long URL
and make a short pointer for you.

I have used it to make a pointer to the above document that is

http://tinyurl.com/zwo8j


Regards,

Rupert.
