The "How files are organised in FrontPage" table
(
http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/FP-Folders.htm) was extremely helpful
and answers my original need. Now that I know how the files of a FrontPage
website are organized, it appearss that I didn't get all the files when I
downloaded.
Thanks all for your concern and this valuable info.
