Thanks Patrick. On <a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/CleanUrls">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/CleanUrls</a> I tried to implement " Example One: .htaccess and pmwiki.php in the Same Directory"and may be misinterpreting the ~someuser/pmwiki placeholder. I ended up with an .htaccess file and config statement that look a lot more like Example Two - but this worked in terms of navigation. Like a charm. Anyway this is what I have (where wikidoc is the directory below my domain URL), in case an anomaly is clear (I may be overlooking some simple error, but suspect it's something I'm misunderstanding:
