thanks Jamie:
Out of the box requires index.php . What i was asking if there is a difference if i were to use a .htaccess file compared to a using the default controller in the routes.php file.
thanks

PS The manual doesn't mention the difference between the two or if one is preferred over the other. However, I do find the manual extremely useful. It is very important to me for the search engines to be able to find and index my sites.
Thanks again for all your help. I sincerely appreciate it all.
