-     If you are writing your PHP scripts using Windows Notepad, you will need
-     to ensure that your files are saved with the <filename>.php</filename> extension.
-     (Notepad adds a <filename>.txt</filename> extension to files automatically unless
-     you take one of the following steps to prevent it.)  When you save the file and
-     are prompted to provide a name for the file, place the filename in quotes 
-     (i.e. "<filename>hello.php</filename>").  Alternatively, you can click on the 
-     'Text Documents' drop-down menu in the 'Save' dialog box and change the setting 
-     to "All Files". You can then enter your filename without quotes.
