 * thanks so much! This helps a lot. Now I begin to understand better what the rewrite
   engine does.

 * Sorry, I read the mail from my host again, and I understood it wrong the first
   time.
 * He is using the rewrite engine for webserver redirection. That’s the reason
   why I cannot use the module.
 * Does wordpress has any disadvantages without using the module?
 * Mick

 * Thank you all for the answers!
    My wordpress-installation seems to work, I recognized
   no problems so far. But I still don’t understand what the rewrite-option is good
   for and why wordpress recommends the module although it’s not necessary. Any 
   ideas?
 * Thanks,
    Mick
