Try changing the extension on your file names to .shtml. This tells the
server to look for commands in the file. If the extension is .html, the
server just sends it out without looking at it, which seems to be happening
in your case.

Also, when using #include file=[path][filename], remember that you are
required to use the exact path from the location of the current file to the
included file. You can't use ../ to back up to a higher level. I find it
easier to use #include virtual=/[path][filename], as this always uses the
path from your root directory.

Hope this helps.

Jim
