Ha, I missed this. I went to "check it out" from the rhide home page; this took me into a directory tree, and it seemed to me that I was browsing said tree. (Hang on, I'm a pigeon, not a giraffe...)

I was suffering from "dialup panic": go online, try to do something apparently simple, get stuck on some obviously simple but otherwise non-obvious point, freak out at unproductive increments on phone bill. So I turned the computer off for a few hours and did something completely different. Went back online refreshed, and hit this first go! But thanks anyway.
