I had a feeling this might've been part of the problem. I was hoping that it
wasn't, but I'll give it a shot.

Yeah, I knew deep down in the darkness that .chm wasn't going to get it, but
being fresh off the boat I rationalized: "What do *I* know?"

Wow. I believe I better get back to the manuals and so some more reading. I

Now here is where the doors are opening. I'm still not thinking of my local

include the server in the equation and treat it as such. I find myself
overlooking this *little detail* every so often.
