There is such a file now. I sent it as ASCII, but still I am not having any luck. Of course, it's my first .htaccess file. Would it be just a plain text file with the line

Options ExecCGI

Or are there any headers, etc. that need to be in place?

How about file permissions? 755 might be too generous, but it should be okay, right?

Thanks.

Update: I thought there was such a file now. But it doesn't look like their is. Micro$oft Window$ won't let me save a file with only an extension--it want's a file name. I uploaded _.htaccess to the server, followed by mv _.htaccess .htaccess which I later realized made the file disapear. Any ideas for a newbie?

Thanks.
