[pmwiki-users] Group Password Problem

Neil,
Thanks much. I left out a necessary slash!!!
The example in the Documentation Index uses a period, and I forgot that
I must use either a period or a slash.
I tried PasswordTest/HomeGroupAttributes?action=attr and
PasswordTestGroupAttributes?action=attr
but not PasswordTest/GroupAttributes?action=attr
I'm embarrased.
Thanks again,
Wade
