Yeah, a few of the modules use it.  However, the basic functionality 
still works for the most part.  As I said, the main web page only shows 
up when a user isn't logged in.  So it just puts a page up there that 
says, "Welcome:  Page is not available."  I figured it would be 
worthwhile asking for a good place to start first, before I go muddling 
through lines and lines of PHP code.  But thanks for the info, I've 
noticed some reassignments of $this here and there.  Obviously, PHP5 
rejects it.  So I guess now it's time to get my hands dirty and start 
digging through some code.  I'll go get a few cans of Mountian Dew and 
see what I can whip up....
