Re: Lasso to process all requests

Thanks, but that's not quite what I was after.  I do what you suggest sometimes 
so that I can have a Lasso driven home page for a site.

On reflection I don't think my subject line describes the problem accurately.  
What I want to achieve (by a more elegant method than my current solution!) is 
for all requests to the virtual host to be processed by *a single Lasso file*.

If you take the sequence of events from my work-around that I set out in my 
original e-mail, I think it should be possible to cut straight to step #3, but 
I can't figure out how to configure this in WT.

TIA,

James Harvard
