Well, I don't see how requiring an index entry for EVERY SINGLE FILE
is shunning complexity.  Maybe WRT his coding....

Any idea how to get rid of that little "y" with the two dots over it
that appears at the end of all displayed pages?  Tried to search for
it in the source files but pasting into an xterm erases the command
string!  It's some sort of german character, right?
