Re: Question re: select fields

Andreas, thanks so much for your response; it seemed promising!
but I can't see the ^M when I view either my conf or my search.html
file. Though I do create both files on a Windows machine, I use
vi for the conf file, and I checked both files through vi on the Linux
box where I am running the search. Possibly the one you are seeing is
an artifact of the copy/paste I did for the e-mail?

Any additional suggestions on how to see that ^M or other fixes for
this problem?

Try it without the ^M after the \ in the first line :)
