Hi again,
        I think it wuld be a matter of adding the .lasso file in the
Virtual Host config alongside where the index.html file is or completely
replacing index.html in that config with index.lasso or similar - not using
Lasso, I can't tell you any more than that.


        Bye for now, Terry Allen
