Robert,

Thanks for the explanation, I'm up to the DynDocument tutorial.

I figure there was something along these lines to store things
separately.

Can this work between servers, as in two different ones? The whole Http
path? Actually this might solve my problem with not wanting to screw up
the CORE scripts with my own or anyone else's, by separating them across
servers. Never mind me, I'm just thinking out loud.

This struck me as a bit odd when I first look at it, it did make things
more intuitive though while I was trying to find stuff. Maybe after there
is more documentation the longer names would have less importance.

I wonder if this resource lookup configuration shouldn't be wholly server
side, as in using something similar to the "cgi-bin" directory, only
something like "js-resource" or some such. then less work would be
required for changing lookups in the calls from eh HTML pages. Just a
thought.

Are these looked at, in a sequence, as in does the order count when
listing them in the calling lines.

Wouldn't also be wise to get rid of the ".js" part of the name, or is
this required by the browsers for interpretation?
