I don't know what that line did, but I know commenting it out seems to
have solved the issue of not seing graphics even withthe right path
coded. When I commented it out, I got images on that imagetest.html
page. As outlined above. So no, I'm not joking. And whatever it does
didn't bother my site (still live) at Page-Zone. It's the same
..htaccess I was using there. (I'm about to switch my DNS pointers to
the new site.)
