I know what you're saying Jeff and agree that my approach doesn't make
sense. I don't understand why it got rid of my problem and why the problem
arose in the first place....I'd been trying to resolve the issue for 5 days
and had my colo provider working on the issue for 3 of those, and they had
also involved Cobalt on my behalf - with zero result. They just could not
explain why the catchall was catching everything and not just the leftovers
(as it were).

My approach was in desperation! I think that the point I am trying to make
is that there seems (on a RAQ4) to be a certain order in which things have
to be done, and if that order isn't followed, then the underlying files get
out of kilter.

Therefore, it is not possible to run a RAQ4 from the browser interface
without getting underneath - which is fair enough for anyone happy to learn
what's underneath, but pretty bad form from Cobalt and their partners who
sell these machines as being suitable for people with no Linux/Unix
skills....
