 * OK, this was the reply that I got from my webhost:

 * Bearing in mind that this is the htaccess code that WP generated for me:
 * `<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule

 * …what do I need to put in the Zeus file? I tried copying their example exactly,
   but that didn’t work.

 * I made my .htaccess unwritable and it gave me the code that I need to put in 
   the file. I inserted that code, but the redirects still don’t work. Does this
   suggest that mod_rewrite is disabled?
 * I’ll check with my host, but what’s the best way around this if I don’t have 
   mod_rewrite access?
