All of the responses I have received for this have indicated methods by which
a file on the *same machine* can be included. What I actually had in mind was
that the file to be included would be on a *remote machine*. Is there any way
to do this? My impression is that the server-side includes will not cover
this functionality. Of course, since no one has told me where I can get
documentation
describing server side includes, I may be mistaken.
