Thanks guys. I *think* I understand now. META NAME="TITLE" serves no
purpose but we put it there anyway. I guess if it doesn't hurt, why not.

Before posting my question I did read the page you recommended Alan but
it makes no mention of META NAME="TITLE". It only talks about
<TITLE></TITLE>. I Googled but didn't come across anything helpful.
That's when I posted my question.

Thanks for the help.
Terry
