Michael,

After adding the above lines (thank you) and using
http://localhost:8081/index.html, I get a blank page (and nothing on
the source page).  (tested using both FF and Chrome)

The only way I am able to see the expected web page is by using:
http://localhost:8081/main/default (still no image).

When I use Application.DefaultModuleName:='main', then going to
http://localhost:8081/ I see the expected page (still no image).

re: Modules - I have two modules?  I see the Main module (
RegisterHTTPModule('Main', TMain)), but where is the 2nd module?
'img' is suppose to be the location for my image files.  (in this
case, in the same directory as the application)
