this worked great.  Thanks for the tip!

I'd already tried that -- unless I leave interwikiname = None, I get
an error when each page is generated.  Do I have to get my InterWiki
name on an official list of such names (seems unlikely...)?  

Also, now I'm wondering about the footer.  I see I guess't edit the
'system footer' (too bad -- I'd like to change the format a bit). the
text I enter into page_footer1 and page_footer2 doesn't seem to get
wiki-ized when I type it in.  Is there a formating trick I should know
about? Right now I get literal transcription of whatever text I
include, enclosed within parentheses, i.e., 

page_footer1 = 'LectureNotes',

gives
('LectureNotes')


If I remove the single quotes (page_footer1 = LectureNotes,), I get an
error, unsurprisingly.  

What do other people do?  Write straight html?  

thanks again,
