Aha, that was the final piece of the puzzle, thanks very much. I just
assumed it'd be Apache that was reading that file to check permissions,
so it didn't have to be group/other readable, since Apache is a system
daemon. Oh well. Anyway, I changed the protections, and moved the file
back to public_html,
2 -rw-r--r-- 1 rem user 28 Jun 25 02:08 public_html/.htaccess
and now not only were my regular Web pages still working but my php
test was working for the first time ever. So then I decided to run the
HTML validation service on not just that file but the master file that
shows all the hello and hello-plus examples, spent the whole day fixing
most of my stuff to be valid HTML transitional, and now with everything
looking good I finally have time to thank you and post the URL:
http://www.rawbw.com/~rem/HelloPlus/hellos.html#php0
Please take a look at it now, and if you're curious pop up to the top
of the main file and browse the contents.

Someday I should go on to the next step whereby the script produces
content that varies with time of day or user's IP number, with PHP as
I already did with: sh* perl lisp java
