   Small follow up.   
      
   If there was a reason you really needed to use the extension .HTM(L), then   
   you have to remove the stock http\errors\notfound.wct.   
      
   The reasons is this:   
      
   A URL page could not be found, so wcWEB starts to do:   
      
   - check for http\errors\notfound.wct   
   - if found, check for a http\custom\notfound.wct   
   - if not found, check for http\errors\notfound.htm   
   - if found, check for a http\custom\notfound.htm   
   - if not found, use internal not found message.   
      
   Thats the sequence.
