Thank You, Thank You, and Thank You Acorn!

The links I posted in my initial post didn't contain "index.htm" after the "/". The links did work when Publishing but not automatically when Exporting (the index.htm file in the target-subdirectory had to be manually clicked upon).

I guess because that Publishing process automatically assumes which file to execute first once a subdirectory is transversed.?

When the links include "index.htm" after the "/" then, when Exporting and Publishing, the links for work for both methods.

Using your advice, then the website files can be transfered to any website address and still work because their link addresses are still relative.
