Ah. Well that makes me feel better that I couldn't get my frickin
anchors to work as an access key in the top right of Plone. (What are
the three condition tests anyhow?)

So two questions -- the first is a condensed version of my previous
question, the second is a new question.

  * When I navigate to a page (with a virtual hosting setup), what
exactly gets called and what sends the final information back to the
browser? If I know point A and point B I'll dig through the code to
find more where the exact variables like ACTUAL_URL get set.
  * On a FreeBSD system, how do I debug VirtualHostMonster,
CookieCrumbler, etc. -- because I can't pull the usual plone_log, is
there another log I can use and where do I find the output?


Thanks much; peace,
