.htaccess

according to the manual (on the web)... "To configure Apache (with the PHP module installed) to PHP-process all the HTML files in a given directory, add the following line to the file ".htaccess" inside the directory: AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm It's OK if ".htaccess" contains only this line (i.e. the file did not previously exist.)" I tried to add this file to my htdocs directory (assuming that that was the given directory to writer was referring to) and windows will not let me name a file .htaccess. I probably missed this in a read me somewhere, but could someone explain to me a work around, or is there something else a windows user must do in this situation. I know that in *NIX naming a file with a dot in front will simply hide it from the ls command, but I am lost here in windows land... Matt
