    Thank you. In the back of my mind seems there was a reason not to do it 
that way... I think it may have been for ease of search&replace... I'll let 
it percolate this afternoon and see what comes up.

   At present the fs.c domain is structured thusly:

  main folder fire-serpent.com/
    preview html pages
    fire-serpent.com/titles folder (contains all title gifs for the course 
including the ones for the lessons)
    fire-serpent.com/cards folder (the e-card site is not being updated)
    fire-serpent.com/post folder (images and sound for the e-cards)
    fire-serpent.com/cgi-bin - email form
    fire-serpent.com/tantra folder - the course html lesson files, password 
protected for members only
         fire-serpent.com/tantra/audio  - audio only popup htm
         fire-serpent.com/tantra/images -larger jpg files
         fire-serpent.com/tantra/virtual -contains .ram files for the videos
           fire-serpent.com/tantra/cgi-bin/ -tea room files, search, email form

      I'll get  back to you about how the new structure would look, with a 
folder for each lesson..

   I think it is easier to just paste in the text info... that is how it 
was originally, before I learned about SSI!  That line changes for the CD 
anyhow, to just the filename. I don't think the "last updated" line is 
necessary.

   I was talking about whether the vids are quicktime, rm or windows media. 
Cannot fit all versions of the vids on one CD.
