Yes, I checked Google & it appears there sb a file .htaccess |
| 15 |
in the public dir, which can contain the IndexIgnore line. |
| 16 |
However, the server I'm using is on a university multi-user system |
| 17 |
& so I don't have root access to change its default settings |
| 18 |
nor do I know whether creating my own .htaccess would work. |
| 19 |
My workaround -- renaming to READTHIS -- is adequate. |

Thanks to all who offered advice. |
