Hi Fay

Thanks for the warm welcoming and such a quick response!

Fantastic! I'd been googling that problem for ages, but I had no idea 
what it was called.
More good fortune! The article I found also taught me how to write my 
own 404/403 pages, solving the other problem. Excellent!

Now back to hacking my Java game...lucky me!

Many thanks

Will
