Thank you(!), I will give this a shot tomorrow A.M. and see how it works. I
was getting close (sort of) to this solutions while tinkering with another
.htaccess suggestions, but I did not try (or know about) the "*" character
which I'm guessing serves as a wild card of sorts. I definitely need to
learn more about .htaccess.
Thanks again!
