It is an argument to the "Options" directive:
Options -Indexes
will switch off directory indexing (see
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options for details).
BTW, 1.3 and 2 have the same default (allow indexing) so I don't know why
you get different behaviour - your configs must differ (or there are
additional directives in a .htaccess file).

Owen: Thanks so much! That was the knob I was looking for.
Sorry I didn't look at the "Options" page even though the config file says
"important."
It's usually something simple overlooked.
BTW: Both my apache-1.3 and 2 have this config line:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
So, dunno why 1.3x is denying any listing of directories and that through me
off that trail.
Once I added the minus to -Indexes - Voila!
Best of regards to you,
Jack
