	I'd appreciate it if anyone who knew the diffs between apache 
	1.3 and 2.x could add to this.

	I have close to your httpd.conf entry excep that I have localhost
	instead of sage.thought.org; that may explain something.  The
	trouble I was having over the weekend, still is happening.  
	When I point my broswer athe the JWChat stuff, I get popups that
	announce their abortion.  One is:

	"JID is missing...\nAborting".

	Thought I'd resolved this, but not: rats!  Thanks for your
	examples; I'll add your "RewriteRule...." stuff and see if
	"the Fates" smile ......

	gary
