But the rewrite is at least partially working - the file serving the request 
is at aldred.org/test/w/index.php - so the match does seem to be being made.  
You can see this from the output - SCRIPT_FILENAME is set to this file. 

The .htaccess is in the directory 'test' - as I understand it, the ^ in this 
case would mean 'starting from where it hits this directory'.  

I've just tried taking it (the '^') out, and it seems to make no difference to 
the result (certainly still no 'STATUS' variable in the php output).
