Feel free to elaborate on how you'd do this,  as I have a copy of most of
my bbs files on the linux box here,  and a point in the html tree in which
to put them,  but never did get into spending the time necessary to get
past that point...

As things sit right now,  any time I added a file I'd also have to go in
there and edit the page containing that particular file area at least, 
more maintenance than I like.
