I know what the documentation says, and I know what's actually 
happening.  I have checked "my code"

from the test page:

<?php session_start(); ?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

the first 5 characters in the file are "<?php".

I will pursuing it with the semi-nitwits my hosting company calls 
"support."

In the mean time I was hoping someone might look past the knee-jerk "You 
f'ed up" response (my initial response too), and give me a clue how or 
why something is being output before it's supposed to be. I'd be open to 
suggestions how to test what and when the server sends.

I guess I can use telnet to see what the server is sending.

Erwin,

I can't echo anything before the DOCTYPE declaration, and anything 
visible would be long after the headers were sent, but thanks.
