 * The problem with the options page seems to be due to using $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’](
   although I could be wrong as php is not a language I am familiar with) so the
   changes to home and siteurl fields make no difference to this. Is there any way
   of changing this without manually going through the code and altering all uses
   of this?
 * I can not change to apache as I need to use IIS for my other sites which use 
   asp.net.
 * I’m not familiar with the way word press works, does it really matter what web
   server your on? Does word press not just process the url which is passed to it,
   so if it is passed “2006/12/07/a-article-name/” does it not just receive the 
   whole url, and parse it to get the date of the article and the name and then 
   look this up in the database?, if not how does the web server that is serving
   the url effect the permalinks?
 * Cheers
 * Tony
