Just to add depth to the confusion, I tried this on Apache/1.2.3, creating
an index.html and index.back, and could not recreate this behavior. I tried
both upper and lower case. I could not get Apache to return either  index to
IE 5! Perhaps this is because of the older version of Apache. ORA's "Apache:
The Definitive Guide" states that Apache should regard an index.html as the
default page for a URL that points to a directory. Whereas my ISP tells me
that I can use index, default, or home
<http://people.ne.mediaone.net/stigers>; they are running
Netscape-Enterprise/2.01 on Solaris, according to
http://www.netcraft.com/whats/. So, there may be a server-side issue here,
or IE and the WebSitePro/1.1h server are negotiating something for our
'benefit'? I'm hoping that someone used to working with these issues may be
able to shed some light on these goings on, or provide more stringent
testing...

Please note that this explanation, now favored by Greg, Lars, and myself,
could still be wrong, but it is at least consistent with the evidence.
Nonetheless, a little bit of stringent testing could determine whether it is

absolutely true or not.
