OK, that saves my URL as "taskusage/htm".  it isn't an HTML file, but 
i guess i can live with this inelegancy since it makes the gotcha less 
likely to happen.

the next item on Choices>Interface, now that i'm looking there, 
happens to be "Request confirmation before overwriting files".  this 
IS ticked.  curious, then, that i had no confirmation before the URL 
file overwrote the module.
